Fish-Hawk.Net

Hello everyone,

I'm offering to create bathymetry or/and fishing maps for the fish-hawk community. I've noticed throughout this forum and others a lack of good maps available for the public. Many on the paid ones I've seen are also lacking. If anyone is interested, hit my up in this topic or through a PM and I'll let you know if I have enough information to do one for your lake. My background is in geomatics and cartography so I have many of the requisite tools at my disposal. I can also provide high quality aerial photos for those who need them (locationally dependent of course). Just want to give back to a hobby that's given me so much enjoyment throughout the years.

Wow, very nice of you to offer this!
Thanks.

Shawn.D

I should follow this up by saying most of my information is in Ontario, not other provinces.

PM sent, thanks

@TheMaverick...

Dog-Cranberry-Whitefish Lakes do not have any publicly available bathymetry. There is high-resolution aerial photography for them if you are interested in that.

Thanks for taking the time and verify, your devotion is appreciated.
I'll do without the aerial as I'm mainly looking for depths, but thanks again.

I've decided to start on Chandos Lake as it is a very popular fishing destination in this neck of the woods. Happy fishing!

Nice, how about the Ottawa river?

Further to ShawnD's request, are you aware if any charts exist for the Ottawa river upstream of the Chaudiere falls to Britannia?
Thanks

I'm getting a ton of requests for the Ottawa River so after some scrounging around, I've located paper copies of the hydrographic services nautical charts for the Ottawa River from the Gatineau River to just past Carillon. As I said, these are in paper copies, and they will require scanning, digitization, etc... (all that fun stuff) so there is no way I can do this quickly. However, if anyone has digital copies of these they can share then I can combine them with aerial imagery and create an elevation model (3d appearance) for the data. Else... this may take a while!

I myself do not.

Great work! I could have used this map of Chandos when I was there in July!

I'll post some more later next week. Going on vacation!

Thank you and enjoy your vacation.

There is a section that these could be added to. Maybe contact Bobber about it.

Here is teh link for that page
