Last time I checked that wasn't a salmon in the picture. Just thought I'd throw that out there.... I think beading for salmon is one thing but steelies is totally different as they actively feed on eggs.
Honestly I would never bead myself but that's just me. For a lot of people it's very effective and it's a legal method of take as far as I know. Personally I'd like to see an underwater view of what the hell goes on but I assume the fish are taking the bead most of the time.
Here's my stance on a lot of stuff I disagree with.... to each his own. I fish for a challenge and beading doesn't seem very challenging, just like sight fishing steelies behind redds and stuff.... But hey, people want to catch fish so they do what's easy, maybe they're the smart ones compared to myself.

Sorry about flying off the handle Whippersnapper(can we shorten that name?).
Still a bit overly sensitive I guess.

try using beads on the yuba, or glo bugs, got to have the color almost perfect or they wont take it. (for the most part) i have gone through a lot of colors with both beads and glo bugs on the yuba with no fish, then finally i find the magic color and its on like crazy. but that goes to show the difference between wild fish (yuba) and hatchery fish (american) again for the most part.
That's actually a steelhead in my pic, and one of the biggest I've landed on the feather. It's a pretty bad photo but that fish was awesome. Yeah, the outlets are a ghost town once salmon season ends. The steelhead really stack up at the very top of the chute, and if you have the place to yourself you can get em' on a fly rod. I know it doesn't seem possible but I've done it before.

Fishing beads for salmon and fishing beads for steelies are totally different.
The salmon beads are small 4-5 ml beads used just to make it leagal-ish. Steelhead/trout beads are used to make the best imitation of salmon eggs possible. We use sizes from 6-10 mm and in eggy colors.
Please don't confuse the two, they're not even kinda close.
