"The upper Flint River is one of Georgias most treasured natural resources and home to a unique and productive sport fishery. The scenic qualities of the Flint River provide an opportunity to combine fishing with an experience of natural beauty that few rivers in the southeast can surpass, and all only a short drive from Atlanta, Macon or Columbus. The upper sections are especially suitable to the canoe and kayak float trips that are increasingly popular with all age groups. Although it is fair to say that the upper Flint River has been "discovered," at times of the year you can still have this river almost to yourself. The Flint River originates near the bustle of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, but the noise rapidly subsides as the stream winds south, passing west of Griffin before flowing along the eastern edge of Joe Kurz Wildlife Management Area (WMA). Conditions permitting, the river is navigable by canoe as far north as Woolsey, but the section between Joe Kurz WMA and Atlanta receives little fishing pressure due to limited access, shallow water and obstructions such as fallen trees and a low head dam just below Hwy. 92. Within this section, those with access and determination may be rewarded with some good redbreast fishing and the occasional shoal bass or largemouth bass.
