Sorry did'nt mean to get on the Somerville thread and talk about the steps. They are off Hwy 95 (going north) first left after bridge like said cord 347. Cant miss it, there will be plenty of cars parked there.
Whoops, sorry, I brought it up too. It's easy to forget that there are other threads on this forum. I definitely want to get up there this weekend, but I'm not sure if it's going to work out.
I will be going to the steps this afternoon to check it out for my first time. Wish there were more people.posting results about this place. All I know is that the river is up and muddy. Did some whites come upstream?
Fishytx, I was looking at lake levels for Granger and seems it is about 2.5 feet over pool. Might make fishing at the steps a little difficult with all that water. I was thinking the bridge at Hwy 95 might have more moving water. Anyways, curious to hear what you report back.
Fished today and caught 8 whites and 1 black bass. The water is awesome and there are plenty of fish up there. Only place I could find a bite was in deeper water. The lake water is backed up above the steps. So at the bottom of the steps, the water level looks to be about a foot deeper than normal, maybe more. But yeah,plenty.of fish up there to be caught. I know a guy who has already hauled six limits out of there. Talked to one guy up on the street who was leaving with his limit for the day. He said the morning bite was the best. In fact several anglers told me the best bite is in the morning. I can't figure out how to post a picture on here so I have no picture to add on to this post.

Wish I could of made it out there! Too busy getting ready for my gulf fishing trip tomorrow!
Got here about 9am...Quite a few people here already, but seemed most are spread out downstream, haven't worked upstream, yet😉Worked aways downstream from Steps...Caught about a dozen, but all small barely 10" at most...Mostly on yellow, white, chartreuse and chicken chain? curly tails and tandem rigged 1/32nd white crappie jigs😉Only seen small stringers, and really nothing of size😥Headed back upstream towards steps, going to work a rooster tail, then may try just upstream from there...And will try to post pics later, can't seem to download any at the moment?🤐
FishingFool - Appreciate the report. Hope you catch a few more upstream.
JILAS - Just google maps Circleville, TX. The 'Steps' area is located just east of Hwy 95 on the north side of the river. You will see vehicles parked along the side of the road. That's how you know you've found it.
