The bead is pretty neat it works year round. In the fall on rivers like the clearwater, snake, and grande ronde if you can find actively spawning fall chinook get down river of them and fish a 12mm orange bead and hang on. The steelhead sit right behind the redds and gobble the eggs that float away. The only time I've seen the bead not work as well is when the water gets super cold and the fish are more likely to take bait.
