The cold weather has caused Flint to drop over the last couple days. Fishing has been alright but nothing spectacular. Streamer fishing and nymphing have been the way to catch them out there. Please respect all private property and fishing signs. At the corral on the Johnson Tuning Fork spot if the sign is up please find another spot to access.
