At TroutBeads we focus on re-creating the true colors and size of the fish eggs found drifting in your local waters.
We've also developed a large selection of attractor colors to be used for Tube Flies, trolling flies, Spin Glo rigs, and lure building.
As you view this site and read the How To's and Testimonials, you'll learn that matching TroutBeads to the egg drifting in the rivers is the most effective egg fishing technique ever developed. It's been a tightly guarded secret in many areas. But, all good things eventually come to light.
Fishing is a process of outwitting your prey with creations that most imitate what fish are feeding on at a specific time of year. Matching exactly what fish are looking for, will magnify your fishing experience during spawns and when fish are seeking only eggs. All the eggs they see are SINGLE... drifting along the bottom of the stream one at a time. NOT in clusters. Salmon, Trout and Steelhead do not spawn in clusters. You will occasionally see two and sometimes three eggs sticking together but the mass majority are singles.

TroutBeads, since the beginning-has been about listening to YOU, the customer and using every resource within the market to create the best product possible.
One of the most requested products since the beginning is :glow in the dark" beads in a range in colors and sizes. The challenge though, was to make them glow for hours not minutes. With a two minute charge (of sunlight, a flashlight,etc...) they will glow for up to 8 hours.
With ever increasing population pressuring our local waters during daylight hours, there is an emerging night fishery (where legal). From coast to coast, one of the most effective products is GlowBeadz™.
Brown Trout are extremely active night feeders. So besides Salmon, Rainbows and Steelhead, Browns can make for an exciting evening. Even when eggs ared not the fish's primary target, you can peg a bead ahead of a lure or streamer and WHAMO! The light given off by the bead creates an enticing natural flash.
As always, keep an eye on the website for new stuff and a HUGE thank you to all our customers who have supported us through the years.
Come in sizes: 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2

I have been using your products for a couple years now and really love them. I am especially impressed with your BeadHooks and not only use them for beads but they are my go to hook for all of my egg patterns and many of my nymphs. They are without a doubt the sharpest hooks I have used and the bend seems to be just right for a good hook set and hold.

Just wanted to share a picture from my last trip steelhead fishing in northern Oregon. I have never seen anything produce fish consistently like TroutBeads. Thanks for making such a great product.
TroutBeads have held an essential place in my tool box for many years. Their realism and simplicity is an amazingly effective way of replicating nature. The variety of sizes and colors allow me to match the salmon I am fishing behind... from Kings to Sockeye to Silvers, finding that special bead is well worth the effort. After guiding on the Kenai for trout for 22 years, I have seen countless trophy Rainbows and most were taken on TroutBeads. I proudly recommend this product.
Good Fishing-

I use TroutBeads all the time and would probably stop fishing if I didn't have them... HAHA!

A buddy of mine introduced me to TroutBeads just over a year ago. They have made an amazing difference in the number of winter Steelhead my clients and I catch, and I have also used them for summer Steelhead and trout with great success. I have become convinced that there is no better egg pattern available. I use them every day, and have seen them catch literally hundreds of Steelhead in the last year.
Thanks-

I use only TroutBeads when fishing for Rainbows and Steelhead on the Sacramento, Trinity and Smith Rivers.

These are photographs of my friend, John Parker of Tennessee. He came to Idaho in March, never having fly fished let alone fished for Steelhead. We fished the Upper Salmon River near Challis and used your products exclusively. He landed five of the nine fish he hooked including these three.
I was impressed with your TroutBeads and the TB Peggz I purchased from your company to secure the beads. I've used toothpicks and blood knots in the past, neither of which worked satisfactorily, particularly for novice fly fishers.
I hope one of these pictures I am submitting will be satisfactory to add to your company's "Brag Page". I see them as fitting tribute to the effectiveness of your products.

Here are a few pics I'd like to submit for the Brag Page. These were caught on Sun Orange in South Fork Clearwater.
Love your products!
