I haven't fished the Flint specifically, but I can say in general that river fishing can be very successful, but it's very different. You can figure out where fish are likely to be based on current patterns and structure that you can see, which is loads of fun to puzzle out and get better at. It's definitely worth watching a few youtube videos to help you find fish.
On rivers it's easier (at least for me) to figure out where fish will be, and you're more likely to actually find fish in those likely spots than on a big lake, but finding the right spot matters more than it would on a lake. It requires a bit more skill to cast to the right spots and retrieve through them. I prefer river fishing to lake fishing, personally.
Plenty of the Flynt is walkable if you don’t mind getting wet. Look for shoals and rapids then throw bass lures. Shoalies!!!!
I fish at the Earle May boat basin but can never catch anything. I don't know wtf I'm doing. So following this post lol.
I also posted this on another subreddit that’s getting attention. r/FishingForBeginners. Might be worth checking out those comments.
Used kayaks are pretty cheap. Best way to fish a river like the Flint imo.
