Hello All,
... So my question is: is it possible to fly
fish from the shore/bank or do you have to be in the water to fly-fish.
They did mention being in the boat but most of discussion seem to center
around standing in the water and how there are a number of dangers - like
hypothermia or falling over and getting water in the waders and the like.

One of the most common newbie mistakes is excessive wading.
It's not only possible to fish from the bank it should be
your default position if at all possible. A lot of times,
of course, it's not possible to get a good cast to a spot
without getting your feet wet but if you can manage it
you'll spook far fewer fish crawling around on the bank than
you will standing in the middle of the stream.
