Kayak Trip Report, Flint River
I fished the Flint today putting in at Hobbs Island Rd. The fish were scattered but agreeable. 50/50 between single pole on laydowns and jig and bobber on the edges where there was shade. The Flint is clear with visibility of about 18 to 24 inches and 67 degrees. I returned numerous larger and short fish still keeping a cooler of happiness for lunch tomorrow!
I stopped and fished Ditto on my way home for a couple hours, nothing but endless short Crappie.

Thanks for the report. Flint river is on my to do list. I've never fished it.

How was the water level? Did you have to drag any?

Flint is still running over 120 cubic feet per second. FLINT RIVER AT BROWNSBORO, AL. - USGS Water Data for the Nation
That means an easy paddle upstream just about anywhere, but I've never seen the lower Flint where you drag anywhere in a kayak?

A guy launched a small boat there ahead of me. I didn't see him, but the truck and trailer was in the parking lot when I put in. When I return it was gone. Not sure the size, best guess is around a 16 foot flat bottom. You're right though, water is two feet below the end of the boat ramp at Hobbs Island. I usually head up stream (less traffic), but downstream is wider and deeper. I've caught Crappie consistently both above and below this time of year.
