Flint's back! This time, our intrepid ranch pup isn't back country skiing, he's floating. Spring float season on Rock Creek is one of our favorite times of year (and only lasts till June 30).

Even if you don't fish, float along today and see if you can spot the wild canine on the boat and the banks hunting for wild rocks.
