One of the newest, most innovative techniques for Michigan Spring Steelhead has definitely been bead fishing, or Trout beads. Bead fishing replicates perfectly, the age old, number one spring steelhead food, Chinook Salmon eggs. Any color can be matched. and beads are round.
As yarn egg patterns are cartoons of the 1970's, Trout Beads are now the Blue ray DVD of today.

A selection of trout beads for Steelhead fishing. Any color can be matched.
Fresh eggs, milky eggs, dead eggs. Perfect eggs.
Beads are easy to fish.
Because Trout Beads are made of hard plastic, it's best that when rigged for steelhead or trout. the bead should be pegged about 3" above the hook. I prefer Raven specialist #6 hook, however and up turned octopus hook should work well. Sharp is the key, like, tacky sharp! Pegging can be achieved with a tooth pic, basting brush spoke, or actual Peg-its by Trout Bead. Pegging holds the bead in its place.
