Thanks for the report. Good to know the Whites are starting to move up.

Now that sounds exactly like the steps. During the heart of the run it's 2 dinks per hour, if you happen to be throwing the right bait.

I went to the steps today. I arrived sometime after 12:00. Anyhow, thought I would explore a little more of the river this time, so I did. Long story short, I caught two in the same place I caught one the other day when I was there. Saw several other anglers with a few on their stringer as they were leaving. One might have had like four to five, the other guys had like eight. Saw two other guys walk to a place with store bought minnows on a bobber catch maybe six between the two. Not real sure what kind of fish they had, but I am guessing from what I know about that spot, crappie. I have a few buddies who have been fishing that same spot in the afternoons and they have been catching crappie like crazy there is why Im guessing crappie. You really cant judge the quality of fishing from this report, because I was there at the worst time of the day and I really did not put a 100% effort into todays trip. I went today because I was bored and the weather was so nice. Plus my wife had some stuff to do and I sure didnt want a go do it with her. LOL Now the truth comes out. LMBO. But I had a good time talking to the game warden and other anglers while I was there, catching a few whites was just a bonus.

Went out Saturday morning. Caught some dinks and only 4 keepers. However, all 4 keepers were females. 2 were caught on a chartreuse clouser via fly rod, 2 were caught on white roadrunner via spinning rod.

A buddy and I went out yesterday afternoon (Sunday) from 2-430 and caught 3 keeper whites and 2 LMB. The LMB were caught on minnows under a bobber and the whites were caught off a 2" chartreuse jig.

A buddy and I did a little night jigging last night and we both caught about ten each. Half our catch was crappie, other half whites. Threw everything back in to live another day. About half of these were throw backs, the big girls haven't showed up yet. But it was a fun little trip.

Once you go over the railroad tracks it'll be less than a 1/4 mile and cars will be on both sides of the county road. Can't miss it. The steps go down near where the COE/TP&W sign is at. Good luck!

yup, Heath is spot on. Take a right on 347 off of 95 right outside of Taylor and you can't miss it. let us know if you catch anything, and good luck!
