I run all hand ties with no name but bow river bugger, wollybuggers, sex dungeon, double bunnies, sculpin patterns, white rabbit leach with lots of flash, and clousers can do the trick.
Think of a bulls feeding habits more like a pike than other trout species. Many weighted pike flies work and bulls will take big meals. My largest bull pattern in an 11 inch joints monster lol.
Look for any deep holes or runs and logjams. They will lay in ambush near structure.
