Fishing the Bow River for big Brown Trout is a long living passion for me.
Early in the season, I drift Bow River Buggers slowly through the fishes over wintering spots.
Size 2 and 4.
I also use Clouser Minnows and other large Streamers.
Early on in the season, I use a slow retrieve.
I have caught many Browns over 28" every year for almost 40 years.
From Dry Fly Caddis fishing to pounding the banks.
My comment on your fly is that it will get pretty skinny once in the water..
Build up a bit more body.
BTW..There is no wrong way to fish, some are better and as you learn you will increase your a catch rate..
