What presentations are you using? Try tossing in a medium sized spoon, or even a rapala with colourations similar to what they are eating. Something that looks like a small cutthroat trout would work wonders, orange, silver, red, shiny...you get the picture, right?
Big poofy streamers work nicely too. Rabbit fur dose the trick aparently...but you didn't hear that from me.
The best advice I can give is be persistant!
best of luck,
Oliver

No shortage of them in the livingstone.... 3/8 oz or so spinners, look for holding/ambush spots- cut banks, submerged trees/logs, smaller pools, etc. Let the spinner flutter in the current for a quick second, then start reeling in. If they're around usually as soon as you start your retrieval they'll come out from their hiding spot. Oh and invest in some polarized glasses if you don't have any yet. They make a world of difference.

Lower K is one of my favorite spots for Bulls. I get more there than the rivers
