also can somebody tell me what is a gazetteer and where can I find one?? |
A gazateer is a detailed topo map. It lists the entire state, small gravel roads, to interstates, rivers, creeks, and lakes. These are not a great map for family road trips, but great to look at in the evenings while having a glass of sweet tea, or in the morning over coffee. You can pick one up at Wal-Mart, or like others have said bookstores.
One thing about naming small waters is frowned upon from most. Some of these waters may not contain trophy fish, but we have guides on some of these small waters who make their primary living on creeks and small wadeable waters. They may not be trophy hunters, but they take people out for hire to show them they can have fun using light gear catching fish, and sometimes hook into an unexpected trophy, or just have fun creek'in. The more people that name these waters the more visitors you may get on these small waters, and they may just keep their legal limit, but by the time you have these five different people a week visiting these small waters keeping their limits soon all you have is some litter, creek chubs and a few snakes left.
