Although not quite as wide, Sam the gillie at Wester Elchies always says, "once you've caught all the fih on our side worry about the others"

Pretty much the same principal as a smaller river. Divide it up into its constituent parts, work out the likely spots, where you can wade and fish it accordingly. The actual fishing approach will mean it is probably better to split it up into bands, fishing the margin first, then wade out to fish slightly further out, then the mid section, after that (as has been pointed out) try and fish the other side.
You can see why "slightly" larger flies are often more successful, also why they make more use of canoes.

The picture is slightly misleading, This was on a huge bend and the river was only 2'6" deep for about 30 yards, before dropping off nicely. This was during the "drought" at the end of june this year. You don't mind blanking in scenery like this.

Yes, in that scenery and with that weather I wouldn't mind blanking once. If it were winter conditions, or even "just" a northern wind, I can imagine it being tortuous in that open landscape.
