(Disclaimer: the hand converter works fine when I preview it, but seems to go to shit when I actually post it!)

It hasn't got his stats here, but he was 77/22 over a decent amount of hands.

Is this the right line to take against these types of players, will there range be stacking off with worse more often than not?

The flush completes on the river, but is this something I should be worried about with somebody who has stats like this?

I think your line was good and against such players you are usually ahead. He is most certainly not folding a weaker ace here.
Also if you decide that if you checked the river, you wouldn't fold to a bet/shove from him you should be betting the way you did to get value from hands you're beating and that he would check behind

Yeah solid line. I could see slowing down on the river vs certain opponents but doubt we're running into better much and I can see us getting looked up by Ax

This isn't a good 3-streets board (all the draws got there, there wasn't a 2nd pair on the flop he could have), but when he checks all 3, I value bet all 3.

Nice hand.

I see the points for value betting the river, but I would consider checking because of the draws that hit. I don't really see either being a bad play though, so I could be convinced value betting the river is the best play.

A fish plays wide range of hands so no worry on the flush.

Your moves? Right moves against such opponent.

Just because they play a wide range doesn't mean we can ignore the flush. In some cases it can make a flush a little more likely as fish love any suited cards for that exact reason. As I think about this hand a little more, I lean toward the value bet on the river because of the V check, but I can still see the case for just checking and seeing a showdown. The pot is still a good size and if he check raises the river, we are faced with a tough decision.

Considering the pot size and what he has left is not tough at all.

I think you did everything correctly and even at the end when he could close down Flash thou had set Ollin/since you already had a little money and you were tied to the Bank. In the long term with this game you will still be in the black.
