I've fished the Suwannee, but never the Santa Fe. Might have to try it.

Nice pics. Good report.

We try to take a trip each year up the Suwanee on our SeaDoos from the "Cadillac". (One of Florida's finest motels

) at Old Town all the way up to where the Santa Fe comes out of the ground (River rise). That is one of the most beautiful trips you will ever take. And of course, we have to take a break at the Itchtucknee.

Dubble we have a house on the Suwannee around old town and that's a heck of a trip from there to the Santa Fe

especially on a jet ski.

Yup, its a ways up there. We always make a fuel stop around Sandy Point. Also, when you get up around ginny springs, be careful and be courteous to the kyakers and tubers.
