How true that can be. I used to fish Box Canyon in midsummer, in Island Park. The best way to catch the big 'bows was to use a sinking tip line, or split shot (or twist on), a big black woolly worm, and cast upstream enough to allow your fly to be within the bottom one foot of the water as it came down the middle of the rapids. The helgramites only moved for about an hour or two each day, and then the bite would shut off. However, I discovered if I changed to a Hare's ear, muskrat, or mink body nymph, sometimes even a renegade, and fish it in the same manner, I could continue to pick up fish.
