Maps & Charts


Fishing Hot SpotsŪ sets the standard for others to follow. Each map is thoroughly researched, the information verified and cartography done digitally, with the most current and accurate GIS tools, to ensure an easy-to-read, accurate and affordable map. It's the map successful anglers have asked for by name for more than two decades.

Our maps come in a variety of sizes and formats. Each body of water is carefully scrutinized and input is gathered from local experts and consumers as to what needs to be part of the product. Based on the intelligence gained at that stage of development, the FHS R&D staff and marketing department determine which format is best for the body of water.

By and large, each body of water is only available in one format, with the exception of our "Handy-View" maps. This means an "L" or "M" series map is not also available in an "S" series map.

Below you will find brief overviews of the features and benefits to each of our map formats.
