Ahhhh! We always called that hole "spiderman's point" because I would clamber along that mud-bank to cast around the corner of the bend, which apparently looked like Spiderman from below. Even at the best of times it was super-tricky. I've seriously considered buying rappelling equipment to fish there.

My bad. You guys are posting fishing spots over on Willis and I thought it was about the trees in a hole over there on the river. I have not been to Willis this year because I have issues getting up and down those steep banks. But I use to take a long rope with me and tie it off at the top so I would have something to hold on to when I was ready to climb back up. It's a tough place to fish for older folks that's for sure.
I checked my rain gage and we received 3/4 of an inch of rain. I live east of Willis and the steps, so the rain we received would not tell me much about conditions at the river. I need to drive over to the river to see how this rain has affected the fishing conditions if any at all.

Well I wasn't sure if I was going today or not, but decided to go give it a try. It started out slow and I really thought it would have picked up further upstream so I kept going. Got into my honey holes and that spot was dead. On my way back out of there about to call it quits, I found some decent fish. Ended my day with 22 whites.
But the best part of this trip was running into hookline&sinker, better known as Ben. We fished together and talked and had a good time. Nothing like running into an old fishing buddy.
I might get back out there a few more times before calling it a year. There are some fish still to be caught, but you have to hit it at the right time.

I went back this morning, I say morning but[s][/s] it was around 11am. Anyhow, earlier than what I've been arriving. Today was much better than yesterday, caught 51 whites. Out of those I might of had a dozen under size fish, and the others were barely over ten inches. I might of had six around twelve inches, but I really can't remember. Lot of smaller fish, but still a blast to catch on 4lb. test line spooled on a ultralight spinning reel.

So crazy how things change in 24 hours. I arrived at the river around 2pm. Could not buy a bite. Went upstream to my favorite hole and caught a few. Long story short, fished hard for four hours and caught 16 or 18 small whites. It was a disaster today.
The best part on this trip was meeting up with average Joe and fishing with him. I talked his ears off. Tried to teach him things as we bounced around from spot to spot. So I had fun just running my mouth all day. I just wish there had been a better bite. The bite did seem to be picking up as we were leaving, but here again, small fish. It's that time of the year for this spawn to come to an end and it's almost there. Will I return tomorrow? Maybe not after today's catch.

Thanks for the fishing report! I think I need to invest more time into finding the good fishing spots.

I always use the USGS flow gauge to check on the Willis Creek conditions:
https://waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/08105505/#parameterCode=00060&period=P30D
I usually have better luck right after a heavy flow.

Willis creek comes up fast after a rain and the fish swim up it. You have to catch this creek right at that good time when the water level is going back down, which is only a day or two after a good rain. But man is it worth it. You can limit out in no time at all. And when all you catch at the steps are small fish, after Willis floods and drops back to somewhat normal, the fish that do swim up it are big.

So I thought I would give the steps a shot today. I fished for 1-1/2 hours pretty dang hard and ended up with 13 whites and one three foot needle nose gar. I still had some decent energy left in me, so I decided to go hunt for some arrowheads and I walked a field for two hours and found these. And I took a picture of everything I picked up today.

TTT

Guessing will need at least a 10'-20' rise in Lake Travis, to have any chance of a run at Reimer's this year...
But "The Steps" are looking much more promising,
hopefully in 2 or 3 weeks, or as soon as it warms up a bit,
the Females will start there way up to the Steps
These are some pics, from "The Steps" from the Friday before last

Cool pics! Thanks for sharing.

Your welcome, and yes there's a nice new log jam, or fallen tree
just upstream from the gravel bar

Yep! Always a good sign when you hook up! Key is timing and putting in the work. Nice pescado pics!

@fishingfool, nice pics! What's that you caught the sunfish with? Looks like a fly with mylar rubing and marabou? You tie it?

No I didn't make those came from a package I found in the clearance box from cabela's, many, many moons ago
