Gasper River in Warren county - anyone fish it or have any info?

Middlefork creek just over in the Simpson/Allen co line area, also the upper parts of Barren river in Monroe/Allen co's. Tramble creek in Allen co, Peter's creek/Skaggs Creek/ Falling Timber creeks in Barren co, there sre several good smallmouth streams in the south central Ky area.

I fished it almost every day when i was a student at WKU. I mainly fly fished, and caught some very nice smallies out of there, along with some big warmouth. My best was about 3lbs from the fly rod. I know of some good deep holes that always produce fish. PM me if you want some more specific info. We kayak down that river 2-3 times a year too.

Oh, the Gasper River! That stream has frustrated me for years! I've fished it a handful of times (I also read that KDFW smallmouth stream report), and have only been able to pull out maybe a handful of smallmouth, and I mean "small" mouth....biggest maybe 2 lbs. That place is full of kayakers and tubers during the summer thanks to WKU alumni, along with a lot of trash. Good looking stream though with some nice holes. It just never produced much so I gave up going. The few I did catch I caught on a texas rigged whooly hawg and an inline spinner. Good luck.

To have some really good success I recommend canoeing it. I'd also recommend Little Barren in the corner of Metcalf, Green, and Hart Countys. Its an EXCELLENT small mouth creek. Also Green River is excellent. I always catch good stringers above Mammoth Cave Park.
