Look for all the cars parked on the sides of the road. LOL.

With the coming rains and warmer weather, I'm betting we are only days away from the main start of the run this year. Can't wait.

Went out yesterday evening. Fished for only about an hour. 8 keepers, a few dinks, and a few small crappie. All caught on fly rod.

Thanks for that report. Sounds like you found a few.

Just wondering how the water was affected by the rains Sunday night? I was hoping it would help get this thing going?

Caught 5 keeper for two hours this morning, kind of slow, many cars on both side.

fishing was tough on Willis creek today. Didn't see much catching, I only caught one.

Nice video greenyak. the water looks great back there.

Willis Creek has always been a tough place for me to fish. It always looks very fishy back there but I've not had the same luck there as by the steps. I like that not many people go there; and it is peaceful. I just wish the fish would find it peaceful and go in there too. With the way that water looks maybe they will.

I'm hoping the steps will begin producing good numbers soon. I'm itching to get down there and try my luck. I'm stuck at work these days.

tight lines all!

mud slick city right now. some being caught on minnows. no bites on artificials, but we didn't try terribly hard before we decided to go watch some tv and skip the mud. does not look like the run has started as of yesterday afternoon. on that note, rain rain go away...

The wife and I tried to fish the steps yesterday afternoon. there were so many cars there I didn't find a parking space nearby. I tried to park down the street a ways and was told by a property owner I was in her property. So, we drove around to the 95 bridge side way upstream from the steps. That parking lot was full too, but we managed to park on the side anyway and walked.

We found a spot and fished downstream within eye site of the 95 bridge. The water was stained and flowing good. In the fast current, it took a while to find a good spot holding fish. But when momma finally did, she began to finally catch them. We caught and released 3 whites (12 inchers) and 4 small crappie between 5-7pm. she missed several other good bites too. We only took 1 doz. store bought minnows. So she didn't fish long. But we left them biting. That was a good sign. the fish are way upstream near and/or past the 95 bridge. I imagine the females will be in there before long.

I guess the spring breakers had a crowd down at the steps. I can only imagine how many people were down there shoulder to shoulder. Glad we were on the other end.

that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

tight lines!
