Has anyone seen the new lake maps yet, I can't remember the name of the company that was mapping the flowage a year ago. Are they available yet?

With the ice moving out slow like this, maybe opening weekend will be good. So I can spend $250 in gas to get, what, 2 walleye a day! Make that $300, I forgot boat gas...

lakemaster has a chip so I imagine they have the map.. used it last fall. amazing.

I found it for $90, for Garmin. Looks like it has a lot of detail with 1 foot contour, wonder what the water level was when they took the readings?

You can see an example of it on the Garmin On the water web site.

Has anyone been up to Lake of Falls spotting yet? I assume all the ice is off now?

Lakemaster surveyed in late June, 2008. Based on photographs I took at the time, the water level appeared to be a foot or less below full pool. The Humminbird version actually has a lake level offset so you can calibrate the contour lines to match the water level.

They still haven't printed a paper version. I'm sure the profit margins are much higher on the chips, so they probably won't unless they get enough requests for it.

As of 12-3-11 ice was 2.75" thick near shore, where the ice was not covered with snow. Out from shore, the snow covered areas were much thinner, maybe a little over 1 inch. With last night's snow, everything is covered up, I would not go out, there's some dangereous ice hidden under the snow. This week looks pretty cold, should be improving.
