Advanced GPS techniques and lake terrain review show how digital mapping can provide the most-intricate look yet of big lakes. Maps on disk can show reservoir bottom contour changes as closely as every six inches of variation up or down. Electronic technologies have been combined to provide the most detailed looks at what's beneath the waters of Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley since they were impounded.
Pat Hahs of Murray, a public lands wildlife biologist for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, nowadays sidelines as a digital mapmaker of the popular, canal-linked fishing waters. Operating as Kentucky HydroGrafx, Hahs has been mapping the bottom contours of popular fishing areas with a combination of sonar depth-finder, global positioning satellite instrumentation and computer. His end products are CD-rom disks that can be used on home computers to show - and make hard copy printouts, if you like - the most intricate views of lake floor contours ever recorded.
The greatest disclosures from Hahs' mapping are via the fact that his maps show bottom contours from only as much as two-foot to as little as six-inch intervals. Existing topographical maps tend to show bottom changes in intervals of four to seven feet. Old maps as a result show no changes at all in areas where contours are fairly subtle, whereas clear changes and bottom features are revealed by the finer incremental recordings of HydroGrafx mapping.
"It's been a revelation about what the bottom is really like," he said. "With the more detailed data points, I've been able to see structures that I've never known were there. Some of them are features that a few regular fishermen have found on their own but have kept to themselves. They are their secret spots."
"I went crappie fishing one day after doing some data collecting, and I fished new spots that I had found just through my mapping," Hahs said. "I caught fish all day long. It shows you spots that are worth trying that you wouldn't see any other way."
Ideal hardware for top benefits from the disk data are a combination of portable, hand-size computer and GPS that can be linked and used together right on the water, he said. "There are all kinds of possibilities for using the data with the technology that we have now," Hahs said. "Ten years ago you just couldn't have done this."
