TROUTBEADS

Description

TroutBeads are one of the most versatile and effective egg imitation systems used in fly fishing. Designed to perfectly replicate the size, color, and translucence of natural fish eggs, TroutBeads are a proven choice for targeting trout, steelhead, and salmon in rivers and streams. They’re available in a wide range of realistic colors—from pale roe to bright chartreuse—so anglers can match specific spawning conditions.

These durable beads are typically rigged “pegged” a short distance above the hook, allowing a natural drift that mimics eggs tumbling in the current. Because the hook is separate, hook-up rates improve while reducing deep hooking, making them both fish-friendly and effective. Whether fishing clear tailwaters or glacial steelhead rivers, TroutBeads consistently produce strikes when fish are keyed in on eggs.

The TroutBeads system is adaptable to multiple techniques, including indicator rigs, Euro-nymphing setups, and drift rigs with split shot. Simple, durable, and incredibly lifelike, they are an essential addition to any serious angler’s kit for fishing during spawning seasons or whenever eggs are present in the water.
