Default If you were fishing the Bow tonight what would you use?

Please give me some tips on what to use on the Bow tonight. I never have any luck but almost had one on a Clouser the other night. Want to catch on the fly rod and also not great at identifying hatches although I have a pretty stacked fly box.

Caddis and mosquito are always a good dry fly there.
And better if a hatch is taking place.

Olive or black leach like flies are good streamers.
And try running them along the banks.

Any caddis nymphs are good under a float for drift fishing.

Look up on google whats hatching this time of year on the Bow and what flies to use.
Lots will come up.

Night fly fishing is good too.
you dont have much daylight left

I have heard that there are still stoneflies hatching in the evenings. Leech patterns and the ever popular San Juan Worm. Caddis are usually thick at night too.
