Here is the Pacific Northwest you generally won’t here us talking about bead fishing for steelhead until the middle of winter. This is the time of year trophy class wild steelhead return to their spawning grounds providing opportunities for catch and release fun not for the faint of heart. The winter run fishery is where you’ll only find the true blue die hard anglers hitting the rivers in search of these beautiful beasts. Wind, rain, or snow these rod jockey’s have no fear in the pursuit of the infamous chrome dome. While others are safe and sound snug as a bug at home these guys hit the rivers to experience the joy of chasing these monsters. Since we already know catching steelhead with stone beads for winter runs is super effective. How about spring and summer runs?
After the winter season is over and the ice starts to thaw the summer runs start working their way to the promise lands and steelheaders just can’t resist the call. Steelhead fishing guides and steelehad fishing fanatics alike hit the water seeking summer run steelhead fishing fun. This provide the perfect opportunity to break out the Stone Cold Beads and hit the river.
Although it’s not as big a fishery summer steelhead fishing on the Washington Coast provides ample opportunity and we at SCB can resist the need to feed’em the beads. After a few casts the #4 owner hook followed by our Pink Ghost bead gets the job done as SCB Pro-Staffer Phillip Besch lands this ultra bright summer run that literally just entered the river.
Even though we love the summer runs sometimes you just never know what your going to get. Floating our 6mm “Pink Lady” bead turned up the surprise of the day. A beautiful spring chinook fell for the stones putting up a nice little fight before surrendering to the rivers edge.
The hook up with a powerful spring chinook was a real treat, but we were targeting ultra bright steelhead and our Stone Cold Beads didn’t let us down. The verdict is in. Stone Cold Beads are killer effective for catching both winter and summer run steelhead in the Pacific Northwest. Catching steelhead with stone beads is a winner every time.
