Location: Greenfield, WI | There are many maps of Wabigoon. Some are better than others, none are perfect...islands missing, etc. Plus water levels can be adjusted by the dam by 3' or 4' depending on the rainfall. The provincial maps are probably the best.
Contact Wilson's Business Solutions, 32 King St., Dryden P8N 1B3, 807-223-3316 to get a copy.
You will probably want to get two so that you can keep one as the master map, and not have to worry about wear and tear on the other map.

| using the map from Thorne's worked pretty good for us this year.
well, that is, when the map actually got used.
SMASH. "yep, that rock's right where it's marked on the map."
CRASH. "there's not supposed to be a rock here!" (pull out map) "yes. yes there is." |

Location: NW burbs of Chicago | HAHA. Also, get one that's laminated in case it gets blown out of the boat. Not that that happened to us or anything.

| FYI - he picked his boat up yesterday from the marina.
i think he's spent the past 63 days practicing map-reading.
we're fishing George this weekend...lots of rocks in that dark water! 
Big Gun? come on...we know you're out there.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Then when you get that map, send it to me and I'll mark it up for you, get you a head start. Stay at Indian Point Camp, by the way, very nice people and the camp is situated so NO wind will keep you off the water or hurt your rig. |

Location: Ogden, Ut | And after Steve marks the map - GO THERE! He is probably going to give you some advice that you may find hard to believe - just trust it. Don't waste your time on anyplace that is not marked. No matter how unbelievable the spot looks - fish it; and fish it thoroughly. EVERY cast is capable of producing a 40 lb. fish. And if you're more than 5' deep - move in. That place sucks - it completely defies conventional wisdom; - I'll definately go back.
