Bead Fishing 101 | Big Y Fly Co. 

Great clip fella. Thanks for your time.!!! I had a Newfoundlander tell me this trick many moons ago. He mentioned he used some kind of dyed material that resembles an egg. Swore on his mum's grave that it would catch more fish than any gear I use. Thanks again. Instant sub and look forward to more material !!!!

Well done! You're good & will be a blessing to your family on many fishing adventure. Stay humble, true, honest & faithful! Thanks.

Hey Nick! Great demonstration on the "Peg & Egg"!

I never comment on fishing videos. However,you helped so much and you got straight to the point. *Thank you,so much. Have a great day*

Thank you very much for explaining the bead, why using a bead and showing us. This video is much more explanatory than other videos. Gonna go try it

Nick very nice video and great information. Thanks for taking the time to help us all.

Excellent video!

Awesome video very informative for a newbie! Thanks!

I enjoyed the video and have used this method on spawning rainbows here in Montana. It works great. I did have to smile when you had your clippers on your line and not the tag end while finishing up your improved clinch knot. ;)

These are a great series of videos. Thanks for posting up. Sub'd!

I sometimes run a bead above my dropper fly. Mostly with a larger flies like Wooly buggers and white death zonkers.

Excellent info. Thanks!

great vid.man very nice presentation..God Bless

Thank you for this video. I'm a newbie steel header and this will help tremendously.

Nice demonstration I learned a lot never bead fish I am trying something new.

Thank you this helped a lot

I use glass and sometimes plastic beads with a snell rig, what would be the advantages disadvantages to soft beads?

Caught my first salmon on this line with a new pole. I’m a happy guy

Nick, great video and info. I want to ask you a question about floating beads. Is floating a bead the same as jig fishing or should leader be longer for bead? how much longer? Thanks.

Thank you

I use the trout beads brand for all my guiding in Ontario and they work great.

i thought when the trout bites the bead, the bead is suppose to slide down into the hook. meaning the bead knot is suppose to move along the line up to the hook . is the bead knot movable?

Very helpful.

Great explanation! thank!

Nice down to earth presentation of info not some fast talking, sellin you something spaz. Subscribing.

Does this method work only in a streaming river? Does this method word in a lake as well?

I would have liked to see this casted, seems like a great idea to do soft beads with a fly rod but man that setup seems like a beast to cast.

Great vid, thanks !!

Good job.

Thank you for informative post. If there are on natural eggs in the water, would you still use beads as lure?

Toothpicks soaked in scent overnight work good as well.

Hi, i'm a coarse fisherman from the UK and watched your video with interest. With this set up , do you get a lot of deep hookups with the hook being below the bead ? If so maybe a hair rig below the hook with the bead attached would help to avoid this . Just a thought

I only could find 6 and 8 mm beads. will those still work?

Would a standard size 2 octopus gamagatsu hook work? I know they make soft ones as well..I assume these are solid? And any specific color you find work better?

Would anyone be able to tell me if this is legal in California?

One problem I see with that rigging technique is that wrapping the bead with the mono. If you snag up on the bottom or hook a fish, the line will probably cut the bead so that it will fall off or not be usable. Even if you get your gear back or land the fish......My $.02

Thanks

Great job teaching !

Can I do this with a long spinning rod setup?

Could you use the fly with a bead underneath a float setup? I'm in the process of getting a fly rod but I'm using a centerpin or open-face reel right now...

When you prepare to peg the bead why did you pass the tippet back through the bead a second time? Don't you feel the Peggz hold the bead firmly enough? I agree when I use 4X the bead sometimes seems too loose but 3X and a peg holds nice and firmly.

thanks i just bought some of the beads

Maybe I'm missing the point but how does the fish get hooked when it bites the bead?

not sure if I missed it but what size bead would you use?

Can I use 3 or 4 of those eggs for better attraction

Will this work on chinook? Thanks

How cn i order a few packs

I have tried bead fishing for couple of years, but do not catch anything!

This is corki fishing.

fly fishing at its finest.

Y not a Carolina rig

Great video, but why bother with fly rods or calling it fly fishing?

Hello friend. I am from Georgia, I also fish. Can I be friends?

Toothpicks are much better and won't destroy your team with plastic buildup

Warning if you get snagged and break off the bead will free float till a fish eats it.once eaten the fish will die because they cannot pass the plastic which will not break down.i found seven beads in hatchery steelhead last winter.if you want future fish you may want yo think about your choice of bait.

If you are using bead pegs it is totally pointless to loop the line through the bead. All that does is cause a weak spot in your line.

no pegs required just use a bead knot

This guy misses hard when explaining why you peg a bead. The reason is that it keeps the hook out of the throat of the fish. When a fish grabs the bead and you hookset, you pull the hook to the fish. This is why the weird hitch he did over the bead with tippet is also wrong. You want that bead to slide to the hook when a fish strikes.

great info, subbed your channel... if you get a chance check out our channel

Completely disagree with a 1-2" gap. I've never fished beads before, wool only. Don't like the mess of roe. Last year my buddy started using beads but was complaining about his hookup to land ratio falling way off compared to wool. He talked to other guys on the river they all agreed on the land ratio. I said it may be the gap between the hook and bead. He said that's the way they are supposed to be fished. Just looking at the setup if the fish grabs the bead the hook could be outside of the mouth with a 2" gap and setting the hook with it outside of the mouth will definitely increase the chance of a poor hook set. He disagreed and said that's the way everybody fishes beads. Fast forward to this year's Summer Red Springs on the Vedder and I slide the bead right on top of the hook. First two hits both fish comes to shore with hook and bead firmly set inside the mouth. Buddy loses his first two so he puts wool on the hook with the bead and gap and lands his next fish LOL. I'll be fishing no gap.

When my wife pegs me it’s quite different

Doesn’t work worth a crap!

So boring

Can I use 3 or 4 of those eggs for better attraction
