+===== Fishing Mapbooks =====
+<bootnote>1) What is a Fishing Mapbook?</bootnote>
+The Fishing Mapbook is a guidebook that combines detailed lake charts or river maps with
+important information on the lake or stream. In addition to the lake charts that help you
+determine where to fish on the lake, we provide pertinent information such as fish species,
+stocking information, access and facilities and even fishing tips.
+<bootnote>2) Why should I buy the Fishing Mapbook?</bootnote>
+If you are new to the area or are simply looking for alternative lakes or streams to explore, the
+Fishing Mapbook provides up to 200 of the best fishing locations in the area. Add in the valuable
+fishing tips and maps and you have all you need to actually find where the fish are hiding.
+<bootnote>3) What is the difference between your Fishing Maps and all of those free online lake charts
+and maps?</bootnote>
+You get what you pay for. We add a lot of extra details like access points or boat launches,
+campsites or resorts as well as the surrounding roads to the lake chart. We also provide location
+maps, stocking charts as well as describe how to fish the lake, how to access the lake and what
+facilities are found in the area.
+<bootnote>4) How do you decide which lakes to include in the Fishing books?</bootnote>
+We try to provide a good mix of lakes and streams to sample in each book. In addition to the
+most popular waterbodies, we try to mix in a few remote destinations as well as those that are
+stocked. We also make sure we have some larger lakes that are ideal for trolling as well as
+smaller lakes that are better suited for fly-fishing or casting from shore.
+If there is a lake or stream missing that you think should be included, drop us a line and we will
+see if we can add it next time.
+<bootnote>5) Where do you get the information found in the Fishing Mapbooks?</bootnote>
+In addition to hiring local researcher/writers, we consult a wide range of sources. From fishing
+retailers to government sources, from clubs and organizations to tourism we leave no lily pad
+unturned.
+It should also be noted that we rely heavily on readers to help us update and improve the maps
+and writing. Please continue to provide feedback and updates and be sure to take advantage of
+our update contests!
+<bootnote>6) How will the Fishing Mapbooks help me?</bootnote>
+Whether new to the sport or a wily veteran, we offer details you won&#39;t find elsewhere.
+Experienced anglers love the lake depth charts to locate hidden holes or structure. People new to
+the sport or area will appreciate the basic information on fishing gear and fish species. Add in the
+fact we cover up to 200 options in each mapbook to give you some variety and a wide range of
+tips to try. Of course, we also recommend you visit the local tackle shop to find out more on
+recommended gear.
+<bootnote>7) What are the PDF versions of the mapbooks?</bootnote>
+Our PDF books are digital files that can be viewed on a variety of devices (computer, tablets,
+iPad, iPhones, smart phones, and so on). You get the full mapbook (introduction, maps,
+recreation information, etc.) and can search the content. You can also zoom in and out easily
+allowing for easier reading, but you cannot print the pages.
+Note: You will need to unzip the file before transferring the PDF file to any device that you want
+to read it on. The best way to get the PDF version on your iPhone or iPad is by using iTunes.
+Drop the PDF book into the book&#39;s category through your computer and then sync your device.
+<bootnote>8) Where do I find the Fishing Mapbook PDF book I just purchased?</bootnote>
+Once your purchase has been successful and you are back in our online store, you can download
+the file by the download link provided. The link can also be found if you need to log back into
+your account. Click to view the order containing the PDF book and click Download. You can
+attempt 3 downloads, before the link expires.
+<bootnote>9) Can I just buy an individual Fishing Map as opposed to the whole book?</bootnote>
+Yes, we offer each lake and stream in our Fishing Map pages of our online shop. The lakes and
+streams are broken down alphabetically by book as well as by Province (BC and Ontario only).
+We offer three sizes ranging from letter size (8.5 x 11) to wall map size (24 x 32). The letter
+size includes the text found in the Fishing Mapbook, while the other two sizes are enlarged lake
+charts or river maps that are easier to read and do not include the writing.
+<bootnote>10) How can I find the lake or stream I am looking for?</bootnote>
+The complete list of lakes and streams are found on our Fishing Map pages of our online shop. If
+you know the region or zone you are fishing, click on that book title and you will see the entire
+list of lakes and streams. Alternatively, search the drop down menu in the Province of interest to
+see all lakes and streams we offer.
+<bootnote>11) Are the books and maps copyrighted?</bootnote>
+The writing and maps are protected by copyright. No reproduction in whole or in part is allowed
+without the expressed written consent of the publisher. Yes, that even includes scanning or
+photocopying the pages and/or posting the maps on the internet. If you ask, we are generally
+supportive of noncommercial reproduction.
+<bootnote>
+) Can the lake charts be used for navigation?</bootnote>
+Our depth charts are not designed for navigational use. Uncharted rocks and shallows, stumps
+and other debris are just some of the things that cannot be accurately mapped on freshwater
+water bodies.
