quote MagicPaddler: "a few at Fish On " Thank you MP! I realize it doesn't show depths but the high resolution satellite imagery is very useful to scout lakes for high probability fishing spots. |

Mocha, Randy @ Walt's Dry Goods Atikokan, Ontario returned my email and said the following: "Sorry the short answer is "No". We have about 20 lake contour maps ...none in the Park. Considering there are about 20,000 lakes within 50 miles of here, it is bad. Then again, that is a lot of lakes and it would take some work to even do some. The government has a few depth maps for their own research but this info is not available to for the public. I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Thanks for your query." Randy Walt's Dry Goods 2017 Main St. Box 340 Atikokan, Ont. P0T1C0 (807) 597-4433 So bummer. I sure was hoping some depth contour maps were available for the Q. |

You know if they were available I would look at them. But it is kind of nice they are not. It adds a little more touch to the unknown and to the camping-canoe-fishing adventure. A little more touch of the wilderness and a little less of the human touch. A little more to explore the unknown. |

quote Eyedocron: "I am probably not calling it by its correct name, but is there a map of Quetico Lake showing the bottom depths, ridges, and drop offs? Thanks." Bathography I believe...but don't ask OS what it means! |

I started looking around on some bathography internet sites and I didnt come up with anything for Quetico. I will keep looking. It would be nice to have contour lines for the Q. |

I just sent an email to Walts Dry Goods to see if they have any depth and contour maps of Quetico lakes. Hope they do as it would certainly help to locate fish. |
