Fly Fishing for Smallies in the Slippery Rock PA. Area

[schwatk]

Hi Guys and Gals,

I want to thank you all for the help and info you passed along when I first posted this to your forum. Some mentioned checking back just before we left on our trip. We leave in a week. So I'm just checking to see if any of you have any current help/info/recommendations you'd care to pass along? If you do please feel free to email me at schwatk@spawar.navy.mil

Thanks again! Take care!
Joe

I am a fly fisherman from San Diego, CA.. My wife (who also fly fishes) and I will be out in the Slippery Rock area late July and early August for a Medieval War at Coopers Lake Campground. We hope to get out a couple of days for some smallmouth bass fly fishing. We don't have smallies in Southern California. We are both strict C&R fisherman. We were hoping some of you would be willing to share your knowledge regarding places to try, what color and type flies to use. Or anything else you think might be helpful. I wouldn't expect anyone to give up their honey holes of course. Can anyone suggest a good or any fly shop in the general area too. Thank you for any and all help!
Take care!
Joe
