The Bow is a big river, but at this time of year, the fish are literally everywhere.
It is not really Bow River specific, but the biggest mistake I see people make when fishing a river is not moving. The fish in a river do not move around as much as they would in a lake, so if do not catch anything in 5 or so casts, Move up or down. Unless I am sight fishing (casting to rising fish, for example), I will easily cover 1km of river.
I do not spin cast the Bow, so I do not know what would work. I would assume smaller spinners and crankbaits would work well though.
