Hey everyone! I was hoping that the vast knowledge on here could point me in a good direction. Does anybody have an online map system that shows lake/reservoir contours? I like to match up how I am doing with maps and see if there are any trends I can take advantage of. This also helps me daydream of the next trip when I am at work haha! TIA

Online, no ! Utah does not have any waters that the big companies like Navionics want to spend the money on. Best bet is Curtis Sportbert's "Fish-n-maps" which you can get at Sportsman's Warehouse or Fish Tec. Curtis was/is a professional cartographer that worked for oil industry, making topo's for them. He was also a died in a wool fisherman and would get original survey maps from different sources and create maps of impounded waters. He has a pretty good selection of Utah waters, including a Utah Lake map that was taken from a sonar survey of Utah Lake by the Feds. I rummaged through thousands of map sheets at the old US Geological Survey office in Provo, back in the early 80's and got one of the techs to make a copy for me. Curtis borrowed the sheep from me and made his Utah Lake map. I also provided sheets for Starvation, Yuba, and Deer Creek. Again, all his maps are made from original survey's made prior to the impounding of the reservoir. Check them out !!

My cell phone has the Navonics App. Shows Utah Lake pretty well. I have company seed it to the Fishing Maps and it is pretty close.

I will check out the Navionics app. I looked at it really fast online and it didn't seem to have as many of the local stuff that I wanted but I will check again! Thank You!

[#800000][font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]I use the Navionics phone app all winter long to find the 'good' ice fishing spots. It has more lakes contour information than does my Navionics chip in my sonar.
