Its not like your yelling as a guy is trying to lace a driver on a par 5. That would be unethical. Your trying to improve your ability to catch fish. As long as you catch and release ( if that's what you choose to do.) without harming the fish, then everything should be fine.
Personally I prefer fly fishing to other forms of fishing. By no means am I a dry fly purist or wet fly purist. I like to use the stratagies that will work the best for me. I troll lakes without structure, I cast in lakes with structure, I use dry flies on many lakes and rivers and I use a strike indicator (bobber) with a nymph on some streams. At the end of the day can I say that I had a good time? ALWAYS.
