If you are fishing a stream all flies should be fished upstream as the fish are facing that way so they can intercept insects that are brought down by the current. On a lake wet flies are cast out from a boat and then pulled back in short bursts to tempt the fish to take them.

I generally cast up stream and then let them drag and flow, however this method doesn't work for all anglers on all rivers, often it depends on the type of nymph, i weighted tungsten headed nymph is obviously better fished closer to the bottom and allowed to drift, however an un-weighted pheasant tail for example should be fished a little higher in the water and only drifted slowly, i hardly ever retrieve nymphs, unless there is a rising trout i will cast about 4-6 feet in-front of it, also it depends on the speed the river is flowing you are fishing, if you don't feel confident in the fishing of nymphs in fast water stick to the slower almost still water pools.
