For Anglers, by An Angler

I have put together this website for people to add their favorite outdoor locations.

Note: For fishing spots, I'm mostly interested in general locations, ie Lakes, Ponds, Rivers etc. If you really want to give up the exact GPS coordinates of your favorite 'honey hole', that is up to you!

Well, I hope you enjoy this site! Thanks for visiting!

Export To Google Earth!

The map locations are available in .kml format for use with Google Earth, a free product from Google.
Right click and "Save Target As" generator.kml
generator.kml
Or, your browser may automatically start Google Earth if it is installed.

Reference Your Locations!

In each of the location balloons that appear for a specific spot, there is a link at the top of the balloon. This link can be referenced in emails, forums, blogs etc.

Feel free to reference your location from our maps page!!
Just right click and "Copy Shortcut" in Internet Explorer and paste the link where needed.
