    NO, and it looks like it would take a real bad storm to get it to good level. put it this way its going to be a long time before cross creek will be used. All water levels down there are low.

    I kinda figured, I haven't been there since just before it got impassable...I could help a little on Orange, but I'm lost on Lochloosa

    You can put in at the ramp in McIntosh and fish Orange.
    I stopped by the Tackle Box Saturday on my way home from Gainesville and asked about Orange and Lochloosa. I was told that there's a lot of grass in Orange and the better fishing was in Lochloosa. Was told by someone else that Orange was happening!
    Pulled down to the ramp at Newnans Lake and asked a couple of guys if they did any good, Neither said they had a bite all day(bream or bass)!

    I called my stockbroker and asked him what I should be buying.
    He said, \"Canned goods and ammunition\".

    The grass should be dieing off soon with this cold weather coming. As soon as the water temp drops fast ( Hydrilla ) I have done good in Orange in the winter time I put in at the 441 ramp and it is so steep You can launch in two feet of water and it will drop to about 5 feet quick. I called my buddy who lives down there and he said that they are still launching boats there.
