I've fished beads for trout, char, and steelhead in AK without snagging a single fish. I'll teach Obama, Romney, and Hank how to fish beads without being an American River bead snagger. Hey Hank, when I was in fisheries school there was a test problem in one class that actually referred to the "Sacramento Snaggers." Are you a member? Man, haven't thought of that in a dang long time!
