I have wanted to duck hunt the flint. I have only seen wood ducks... is that all they get on the small rivers? Do they have a lot of people that duck hunt the flint or paint rock?

I've duck hunted the Flint extensively ... Will tell you all you wanna know about it tomorrow if ya like

There is still a spot were you can pull under 431 bridge, there is even kinda a little washed out ramp to if i remember correctly.

Yeah yall would love hwy 72 to butlers mill, i see deer and turkey almost every trip down through there. absolutely gorgeous.

We will go one day, yall can do 431 to clouds cove to. but whenever we do that one were gonna have to get out early. took me 10.5 hours last time and only fished half the time.

72 to butlers mill is roughly 6 hours

yeah that would be great. i did some duck hunting in LA before I moved here. I would like to do some duck hunting again.

Paint rock is pretty danged slow below 431

Most of the Flint is woodies only unless it breaks the banks and runs off into crops and then you have to have the owners permission to hunt it. Below Clouds Cove is woodies/teal and big ducks. Big ducks are not there 98% of the time but when they are, its a madhouse

dang that is a long run. I got a few buddies that want to put in at 72 and do the flint to tn river. i think when we looked at it it would take 4 days

Without fishing and assuming Brownsboro measures at 8-9 feet, you can expect this (not counting fishing time) :

72 to Little Cove : 3-4 hours
Little Cove to Old 431 : 3-4 hours
Old 431 to 431 : 1/2 - 1 hours
431 to Old Big Cove Rd : 3-4 hours
Old Big Cove Rd to Hobbs Island : 3-4 hours
Hobbs Island to Clouds Cove : 1 hour

Total : 12 to 17 hours

that would be about right. I think we talked about doing 6 hours a day or so... with catching our own food and setting up camp. also a little extra time depending on what we ran across

The fish rocket and I caught yesterday on the flint.

Minus the Skipjack that bounced 3 feet high from my boat and back into the water LOL

What'd y'all think about wading opportunities? Good? Bad? Deep?

That far up the Flint and the wading opportunities are excellent. We got out at several points and wade fished. Most of it had a lot of tree cover but there were still plenty of places you could fly fish. I'd like to go back sometime and give that a shot

Beautiful pics

Thanks for the pics!
Looks like perfect water flow for fishing!
