Crappie
If you're looking for some slab-sided crappie in the Flint area, you've got some decent options. Mott Lake, part of the Flint River system, is a popular spot. Its stump fields and submerged timber provide excellent cover for crappie. The best time to target them is during the pre-spawn in early spring, when they move into shallower waters near these structures. Also, the fall months, as the water cools, can be productive. A local tip: try accessing Mott Lake from the Genesee Recreation Area's boat launch. Keep an eye on water clarity, as the Flint River can sometimes be murky after heavy rains, impacting crappie activity. The crappie here tend to be good-sized, with some real trophies mixed in, so be sure to bring your A-game and light tackle for a fun day on the water.
