When coming to Alaska to fish for trout, one thing you must have for your trip is an assortment of beads. Beads are an imitation of Salmon spawn ( fish eggs ), and trout realize that there isn’t a higher source of protein available ( other than flesh ). But remember, all beads are not created equal.

Beads which can come in a variety of colors and sizes, is the Alaskan way of matching the hatch. The different shades of the beads represents the metamorphose of the egg, and how long that egg has been in the water, thus the lighter and more mottled the egg is, chances are it has been in the water for quite awhile. The different sizes of beads coincides with the specific species of Salmon that laid that particular sized egg, i.e.; a 10mm bead would represent a King egg, while a 6 – 7 mm bead would represent Red Salmon spawn. Take this advice from someone who has been fishing beads for over twenty years, and catching Trophy Trout.

If I only had one thing I could bring to Alaska to fish for trout, it would be a bead box with beads in various shades and sizes.
