And if you think the fish are spooked here...try grizzly bears at every other bend chasing after salmon...the fish there didn't seem to care.

Just saying...

Have you seen the River Monster episode where Jeremy Wade is trying to floss salmon (he actually teaches the technique LOL)?? The grizzly literally comes and takes the fish off his line.. serve's em right! HA!

I've also heard reports of beads working very well.

I acquired some decent beads a while ago. They are marble and I use them as attractors, knot protectors or even instead of shot on the line.

I haven't used them as the actual bait / lure on their own though.
