Default Floater help needed

OK, the scene is that you are going to hop in your kickboat and float a
river known to have some trout.

You don't expect any hatches, or if they occur feel prepared to fish them.

The water doesn't have many obvious holding areas, however, you may stop and
fish those few that exist with nymphs.

But most of the time you're just going to be floating and fishing at the
same time. The fishing is really an add-on, mainly it's just an outing to
enjoy Nature, but it sill might as well be successful fishing, if possible.
What flies and techniques would you plan to use? I have nearly zero
experience fishing moving water from a floating craft, as opposed to using
the craft for access and then wading, so I need advice. Controlling my
WaterMaster with fins is pretty easy but I will still be moving downstream
most of the time so any given spot will be a cover it once and only once
situation. Most of the water is 'pool' type water, too deep to wade,
between the rarer riffle/drop sections.
