Well,
After all this time, i will be hitting Webster for the first time ever on Monday the 16th. I am hitching a ride with a buddy of mine who loves the lake. I have heard alot of great things about it and hey, it's closer than other lakes i fish!!!! Mr. Chinewalker and others informed me that the tourney will be the weekend before so we will be mopping up after the carnage but beggars can't be choosers. It was the only time we could go. Good chance to learn the lake though. Cant find a map of Webster anywhere. I love fishing new lakes!!!!!

Dave,
"Ye Ole Tackle Box" in N. Webster has maps but they aren't very detailed. They serve as a starting point and you can add info to it by simply being on the water a very short time. Enjoy your trip.

The maps at Ye Old are "ok" at best. I would buy one, but make sure you bring a marker or good pen with you so you can make corrections. It will help out, but will not be greatest. Spending time on the water, and looking for all the turns, breaks, etc... is the best thing.

I would go to terraserver and look at aerial photos of the lake...you can print them too if you like. This at least gives you an idea of what you will see when you get there and some potential areas to try. Here is a link:

I'd like to give a "Second" to Jed's suggestion about Terraserver.com. I've used it several times and it's pretty cool. Check it out.

Uncle Larry's Lake Maps book has maps of many Indiana lakes Including all of our Favorite Kosciusko County Lakes.
Sportsmans Connection map book(I think its Indiana Volume 1 with Webster)
The Bright Spots Map books For Kosciusko, Marshall, Fulton, Elkhart, and St Joe Counties
The Fisherman's Cove Map
As stated by others they all seem to miss something here or there. The Bright Spot Map books are getting harder to find of late. The Fisherman's Cove one can naturally only be found at Fisherman's Cove. Ye Olde Tackle has the other two as does Number One Stop I believe.
