Ryan84* Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I'm looking for a good lake map book with contours, elevations, lake information, ect. for southern minnesota. The only one I really found was by Sportman's Connection and looks like to be a great tool. Has anyone used this book? Are their others out there that you guys suggest?Thanks,Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raider4ever Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I have three of the SC books for various parts of MN and WI. They are pretty good. They don't have everything charted but are good enough to get you started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delcecchi Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 You can download and print lake maps and topo maps from the state and feds respectively and they are free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartmanMN Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I have the Sportsman's book in my truck for my area. It is helpful to identify where the boat launches are etc. It also has general tips for the lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan84* Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Thanks guys, I'm going to pick one up for my region. If anything it will be fun to look at and come up with my "own" spots that I think will produce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruthWalleyes Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I have the sportsmans connection as well for southern MN. Nice book, i pull it out every now and then, but pretty much just use my 2012 lakemaster card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxcar Wllie Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 If you have the money to spend on a book, I would rather spend it on the Navionics App for your smart phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
