Floating the Flint River for Shoal Bass 
US Source: sportfishingmag 6/9/2022

The busiest airport in the country: Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson. But beneath the oil-stained tarmac and those cavernous, carpeted terminals lies a natural wellspring: the headwaters of Georgia’s Flint River.

One of only 40 rivers in the nation that flows more than 200 miles unimpeded by dams or other man-made obstacles, the Flint homes the largest population of shoal bass.

A feisty, whitewater-loving scrapper, the shoal bass earned unique species status in 1999, thus expanding Georgia’s black bass pantheon to 10 species—the greatest diversity in North America.
 

Quint Rogers is addicted to shoal bass—quite an affliction for one so young. But at 26, Rogers delivers an elite fishing pedigree. After guiding fly-fishers in Montana post-college and experiencing the effectiveness of oar-powered rafts, he returned to his native Georgia with a plan. He bought a Smith Fly Big Shoal Raft for his Peach State Fly Fishing charter business, knowing he could offer clients a unique (and mostly dry) opportunity to fish the most productive but difficult-to-access waters of the upper Flint.
