Default flys to use on the bow river

Hey guys,

I need help figuring out what the heck to use on the river, I have never had any luck on the Bow..

I have been using a san juan but no luck, any ideas?

San Juan worked yesterday and size 12 black stone nymphs. We got a couple of hook ups on the dry, but the risers were few and far between.

do you use floating or sinking line? and how long is your leader?

10 ft between the indicator and first nymph, if you're not ticking the bottom you're not deep enough. And just used a regular leader with flouro tippit.

Fish the inside corners of the riffles, right on the edges where the slack water meets the fast. Lots of the bows have moved up to spawn right now.
