Pike Run down near little California is stocked with trout. I've also done well on smallmouth from time to time in the lower sections. You can park at the walking track before you get into town. There are lots of Jap knotweed thickets along the creek, so be prepared for wading down the middle of the channel or bushwacking through the thickets. Make sure you check yourself for ticks after going into the jungle. Pigeon Creek runs through Mon City. I've never fished it myself, but I've talked to people who've fished it with some degree of success. There are many spots over on the Yough within a 15-20 minute drive of Mon City(West Newton, Cedar Creek, Smithton, et al). There's also Mingo, which is very marginal in my experience for just about everything. Just about all the relatively sizable creeks that dump into the Mon/Yough that aren't nasty with mine drainage will contain fish.
