Went out yesterday paddled up from primitive launch site to right before the steps caught 10 14 inch keepers and no exaggeration 100 7,8,and 9 inchers fat little suckers were killing the ultra light beside the fact a little sore from first all day trip and thumb and index finger rubbed raw great time good fishing dont know how bad the rain is going to screw it up though.

I haven't fished the steps before but am hoping to try it tomorrow. If you see 2 guys in waterloo rods caps, holler at us! We will be trying to figure it out.

I live in Hutto and if Brushey Creek is any indication the San Gabriel is probably going to be real nasty this weekend. Water is moving very very fast

Water was ok on Sunday. Fished on a gravel bar about halfway between steps and primitive boat ramp. Went back yesterday and water was up about 2 feet and the color and consistency of pottery mud. Didn't catch anything. Every fish I caught on Sunday was a male and all were within about 6 inchs of the shore.

Well yesterday we hit it pretty hard from about 1-4pm. There was nothing going on, with the exception of a few waders in one eddy catching some tiny stuff. Like Jeff said, most of theirs came within a foot or so of the bank.

I never got close enough to see if they were whites or crappie. I did see one fella upstream from there in another eddy catch a keeper crappie.

I can see how that area is good to fish, but the high water from the rain messed it up pretty decent I guess.

Is the water still muddy? looks like a good week to try it out down there.

yesterday the water color was not too bad it was alittle of color but not that bad. fished for 5 hours and never caught a fish. put the boat in at the sirt ramp and went downriver.

Gonna try and get off work early Thursday, and head down there. Also put in to take friday off. But I'm heading to Somerville (yegua) then. I'll post a report by the weekend if I make it out to the steps. I'm taking a co-worker, my daughter and grandson. Hopefully the grandson (5yrs) one will have some luck. I will try and take a few pics while I'm there. Maybe I can post them later.

Any more info on the steps? Gonna head down this week after practice.

Anyone doing any good?

went kayaking saturday caught 5 onyl 3 keepers

Managed on 8 Wednesday. 3 early around 9:30 and 5 after 2pm. Beautiful scenery. Lots of hiking. I'm out of shape so I'm sore today. LOL. Didnt see any limits. Most had 3 - 8 fish. Should be better soon.

Just curious about all the "catching" going on there this weekend. I don't see any posts since my last one.

???

I think it's because there is not much catch in steps currently.
I have been there twice this year. Haven't seen any one catch a limit. Most of them got nothing, like me

CNR-
What is the water like at the steps? Thinkin' bout takin the kiddos tomorrow but not if it's too high or muddy...
