Bingo!
One of my favorite places to fly fish is one that you would think would suck for fly fishing, walking the beach. I guarantee you that I can catch way more fish with gear on the beach. I prove that just about every summer. But those 20-30 spin fishing mornings aren't nearly as memorable as those 5 fly fish mornings. For some it's an efficiency, numbers, size game. For others it's like Wrench says, a whole different dimension. I used to be the efficiency, numbers, size guy, so I understand the draw to that. And it's honorable. But for me, I'm glad I found the other dimension.
