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.
