Wayne, you definately on the right track............
"Keep it Simple"..............
i kinna feel sorry for those that feel they have to be a scientist to enjoy fly fishing.........but, whatever boats their float.
i mean, all you "Really" gotta know is, fish gotta eat. Then, if "catching" is that important to you...........you WILL find a way............or, take up golf/pin-ball/bowling/darts/horseshoes/hand grenades/shuffle-board/bank robbin'.......whatever
"Keep it Simple"..............................

What if I fish a flymph like a nymph? Is it still a flymph?

I figure a nymph isn't so much a tying style as a life stage of the invertebrate creatures that frequent our chosen places. Whatever you tie to imitate that stage must be a nymph. I know other more fussy, specific people won't agree but why make it any more complicated.

RnF, Howdy;
flymph ='s 1/2 fly + 1/2 nymph
so i reckon you'd be at least 1/2 correct ...

Over here..... we simplify things.
In regard to as you would find flies in a fly box, not the natural insect, if it does not have a hackle or a wing it is a nymph. Matters not if it contains one of those modern fancy beads, weight or wingcase..... it's still classed as a nymph.
Unless it is tied on a #6 long shank hook...... then it's a lure!
