Fished Slippery Rock Thursday evening, Friday afternoon and most of the day Sunday. Tried everything possible and only caught one sucker and one Char. Fished above the bridge and below. Only saw one other fish caught that whole time. Another guy picked up a nice Rainbow about 500 yeards upstream from the bridge.

Fished Neshannock Friday morning, Saturday afternoon and Sunday evening.

Friday and Sunday worked mostly between the Fly shop and the dam. Had pretty good luck on the smaller nymphs mostly in the riffles just below the dam. Fished down by the Cliff hole on Saturday. Very little action. Caught one nice Rainbow at the bend and another gentlemen picked up one in the faster water just upstream. Again small nymphs and emergers were working.
