Default Bow River Rigs

I am planning on fishing the bow at Fish Creek tomorrow.
I have setup 3 rods with different things.
1. Rapala CD7 Trout Pattern
2. Whitefish Rig (See picture)
3. Mepps Black Fury or Wooly Bugger fly with splitshots

Do you think these are good choices and will work at that part of the bow?

Here is a pic of the whitefish rig (Sorry about the crappy drawing, I had to do it on my ipod) it consist of a Prince Nymph and SJW

If targeting Whitfish specifically, try a beadhead prince on the bottom, and a whitebead chironomid on the top dropper (ice cream cone would work).

Not sure if I am reading this right but do you guys put a weight at the end of the line? or is the picture just upside down?

Thanks

Yes, that's one way to do it. Another is to use a heavy, weighted fly in place of a weight and then add a dropper fly such as a prince nymph.
