Contour Maps for Free
Lake contour maps can help you find fish quickly. Underwater points, sunken islands, depth changes and old creek beds are all features that hold fish and which are prominently displayed on contour maps.
There are many good books containing contour maps but they sell for a hefty price. You can save money on maps by looking on the Internet for them instead. Start by searching your state or province's conservation site. Many natural resource departments now include these maps right on their web sites. If you can't find one there, do a search with the name of the lake. Tourism bureaus and local lodges, guides and other fishing-related sites also include maps.
