why don't you try it and see?
In many ways I am blessed to have learned, as a child, to fly fish and fish in general, with modest means. I had one hand-me-down fly rod for trout, bass, and panfish... if I was fishing nymphs or wet flies, or fishing dry flies, or poppers, or streamers, I did it with that rod. For quite a few years that was it. I adjusted my techniques to fit what I was doing. I caught lots of fish and learned a lot. I'm happy I didn't have people telling me I "needed" different equipment for every style of fishing, because if that was true, I probably would not have kept at it.

To the simpleton, proof does not matter once emotion takes hold of an issue.
