Bull trout flies
Large streamers with blue and white or black and chartreuse have worked for me. Double bunnies are one example.

Anything with some weight, material with good movement like rabbit strip or marabou, some flash, 3-8inch range, white, peach, black, and purple
Simple cone head rabbit strip leeches can work well

My selection, the green and white rabbit strip would be the most used. Something with some orange is good too, need to tie some up.

I once new an old timer who told me that back when he was a kid around 1930 or so, he used to catch a mouse and tie a hook to the animal, place the critter, hook and line onto a piece of wood and push this out into mid stream of a river then pull mickey off the wood float.. the mouse would try to swim to shore only to become bait for a hungry bull trout..

I have been told the same story except swap mouse for gopher and bull trout for pike. I don’t know if the stories are true or if it’s an old fisherman’s tail that drifts around
But bulls will definitely eat mice and witnessed a squirrel disappear in a northern BC bull trout river.

I've done this for big brown trout at night, rubber band to hold hook on the mouse, not to tight and a gentle lob, Good amount of protein in a mouse, and easy for a fish to catch.
I use 2-3 inch streamers (deceiver or similar) or large woolly bugger for bull trout, Black woolly bugger will catch most any fish.

Big ugly grasshopper flies can be good for bulls in season. August and the fall. There are some big grasshopper flies that look exactly like a grasshopper. With a size #8 or #10 hook.

My grandfather told me stories about him putting an entire raw Chicken on an 8/0 or 9/0 hook, then tying it to a length of yellow rope and tying that to a tree. He would do that in the morning and by the end of the day he would usually had hooked a sturgeon
Again, dont really know if its true(probably not)
