You've definitely got the right idea, in my opinion.
I seldom target bulls, unless I'm on the Castle River. But when I do, I use an Indicator and a simple black bugger. What I found that works, is to make the fly look crazy. I'll dead drift it for a few seconds to make sure it gets down., then do a few massive twitches with the tip of the rod, and that's usually enough to get a bull to smash it. The way I look at it is, if you can't entice them into feeding, then simply ticking them off, gives you a good chance of hooking up. Lol
Just remember to practice good C&R etiquette when handling Bull Trout.
Hope that helps!
