Last year was my first successful year on the bow. I started out with spinning gear until I had found a few good spots (one located by the Douglass dale driving range lots of people fish there), then I switched to my fly gear.
Success with the fly gear came slowly I watched a lot of how to nymphing videos on you-tube and finally some one gave me a San Juan worm made of wire and since then I have hade as much luck on the fly as casting. The nymph had to be bounding off the bottom for it to work and I had caught most of my fish in the afternoon on sunny days before thunderstorms blew through.
I am sure the more experienced bow river fishermen have better methods and can catch them all day but the above is what worked for me last year.
Good Luck it is a lot of fun and there are a lot of big fish in that river.
