Fished from Sunday evening until Thursday afternoon. Fished most of the Neshannock project and Slippery Rock.

90% of the fish were caught by the Dam and on worms. San Juan(red and brown, some on green weenies, and the bead headed micro worm was the best. Fished the worms behind small nymphs like the pheasant tail, zug bug, heare's ear, and prince. Best times were between 7 to 9 AM and 7 to 9PM. Fish were actively feeding(by the dam only)during those times. You can really do well even as hot as it has been.

Slippery Rock has very high flow for this time of year, but is off color. I hear they are letting water in from Lake Arthur still. Fishing there was very slow. Only picked up a couple, but one was pretty damn close to 20". By far the biggest I have caught in either project.
