Lowrance introduced fish finders onto the market over fifty years ago. Since that time, fish finder technology has continued to improve. Today there is a wide variety of features to look for and choose between. Before you invest your hard-earned money in a fish finder, learn what is available, what you really need and what is worth paying extra for. Here are some features that are worth considering:

Frequency and PowerA fish finder is only as good as the fish that it can find for you. To determine the right frequency for your particular purposes, the rule of thumb is that higher frequency transducers show better detail at greater depth but cover a smaller area while lower frequency transducers cover a larger area and are good in shallow water.  Power is measured in watts. Higher wattage units are able to penetrate deeper waters and provide better results, but if you are on a budget and you primarily fish in shallow water, a modest power supply could be more than enough.

DisplayThere are two important considerations when choosing your fish finder’s display. The first is resolution. The higher the resolution, the better quality picture you will have and the more clearly you will

The following guidelines will help you travel and fish safely in bear country:Food StorageAll food, beverages, garbage, and any other odorous items must be attended at all times. They should be stored in a bear-resistant container (BRC, or “bear barrel”). Gear StorageKeep your belongings with you: A pack or clothing left unattended invites curious bears. Not only will your belongings likely be destroyed, but the bear may also learn to associate such items with interesting smells or, even worse, food.Be AlertBears are active both day and night and could be anywhere.Make NoiseIn dense stands of willow or alder and other conditions that hamper visibility, make lots of noise so bears can hear you approach. Bears may perceive you as a threat if you startle them. By making noise such as clapping, singing, or even talking loudly, you can alert a bear to your presence and it will likely choose to avoid you. Try to stay with a group when traveling in bear country. A group is noisier, easier for a bear to detect, and more intimidating than one person or two people.Avoid Close EncountersIf you see a bear that is unaware of your presence or far away, back away slowly
