[size 2]The "Lake Maps Series" by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game was developed to provide anglers with useful information about the lakes on our area to enhance their fishing experience. Information available to anglers in these resources include a bathymetric (underwater contour) map of most lakes, the average depths, maximum depths, stocking histories, surface area and much more. Information on stocked lakes is available for the Anchorage, Matanuska-Susitna, Kenai, Kodiak, Upper Copper Upper Susitna and Prince William Sound areas. Similar information for some unstocked lakes is also available.[/size][/center][size 2]Southcentral Lakes[/size] [size 2]Interior Lakes[/size] [url "http://www.sf.adfg.state.ak.us/region2/lakemaps/html/lakeanch.stm"][#0000ff][size 2]Anchorage Area Stocked Lakes[/size][/#0000ff][/url]
