You did the right thing. Usually a quick check under the rocks will give you some ideas as to what is going on. Also, a good sift in the water will show you what is emerging and/or drifting through the water. Another good tactic is (you have to catch a fish first though) a stomach pump. That will really tell you what the fish are targeting at that time.
That is weird that you were unable to find anything on the bottom of those rocks. Although, depending on the depth and flow strength of the water, when you pull a rock up, lots of the insects will wash off by the time you get it out of the water. It is best to go to an area that is shallower and less current to check under rocks. Good luck!
