There's still a good number of trout in the creek. As mentioned, it's also a good smallmouth stream. Where abouts will you be camping? Trout fishing is best upstream from Youngsville, smallmouth better downtream of Youngsville, though still some smallies around Youngsville and Pittsfield too. The water is low and warm so trout may be sluggish - I'd suggest finding deep holes or fast water in wooded, shaded areas. Best bet for that is in the area around the state gamelands between Spring Creek and Garland. That's the stretches I know a little about - don't have any experience from Youngsville down to the mouth at Buckaloons though - can't really help you there. If you go, let us know how you do.
