Fall Rainbow bead or no bead
I have been river fishing fall rainbow for 25 yrs with the same setup a couple split shot about 3 ft above the hook depending on the current, a nice small sharp hook, spawn sac with green or orange mesh and a couple of spawn sac floaters to keep it just above the bottom. Last couple trips we have been adding a colored float bead just above our hook and wow the increase in action is very noticeable in sheer numbers, we made 3 trips same river same holes same time of the day, first trip just plain spawn no bead we caught 2 trout and this has always been the case on this river for last 25yrs years I have been fishing this river 1 or 2 trout fishing trips once in a while on good trip maybe 4 trout. Next trip we put beads on 1 rod and my wife's rod no bead just spawn, well the rod with the bead out fished 5 to 1 rod with no bead. Third trip we used beads and spawn on both rods we caught fish after fish landed and released 9 trout same holes.
