Yes sir. Floated it Thursday and Friday with my brother. Caught 30+ fish kept 9 on Thursday. Caught 50+ Friday kept 32. The flint is loaded... I wanna try paint rock river and some more spots on the flint. Got a few buddies that only fish the flint in Madison county. What part you fish?

Floated from Oscar Patterson to Winchester many years ago. Have waded a bit around the McMullen Cove landing but it's silty and can get iffy. The few fish I've caught were fun. Some nice largemouth and a solid smallmouth that shocked the bejeebers outta me.

I've float fished various sections of the Flint from Oscar Patterson all the way to the Tennessee river. I've made roughly 15 runs this year. I love the Flint, it's a beautiful river ...
I don't want to pass quietly into the night. I want to slide in sideways kickin and screamin

I enjoy the floating but would just about rather walk/wade depending on access and water levels.

Nice stump-knockers! Those are fun on light tackle.

I haven't floated upstream of OP before. I'm thinking about a run from Joe quick, through Walker LN, down to OP here in the next few weeks. Above Winchester rd and the Flint looks like a mountain stream, gorgeous ...

Is there any wadable water and good access areas on the OP, Walker or Winchester, or Mountain Fork?

i like the water better at walker (maybe because I live so close). To get from walker to OP is took 6h 15m one day and 5h 20 the next day, and that was with catching 50+ fish

When i went from OP to Winchester it took plenty of time, partly because my partner and I were big ol' boys and also because the water was low. Scenic but not optimal flow.

Went OP to Winchester 3 or 4 weeks ago, took 6hr 30 min and caught 15 fish (11 bream, 3 smallies, 1 largie). I guess I gotta slow down a little if I wanna catch more fish

TwoRs, those in the middle are rock bass, also known as stump knockers and goggle eyes. Hard-fighting little sunfish.
