The 3 times that I've been to that area, I've used the Navionics Chartviewer as a starting point. You can't set up waypoints like on your boat's sonar, but it works very well for scoping out locations for depth, rocks, weeds, points and drop-offs.

This is the upper French River but checking the main site I do not see a map for the lower French specifically the Wolseley Bay area.

Looks like Goshawk's idea is the way to go.

X2 on Navionics maps (on cell phones).
On mine I show depth charts for most of the areas mentioned, but not sure if waypoints can be used. It is the way to go since the main charts services (Lakemaster/Navionics) do not offer the lower French River mapping, at least past Dokis.
What a fantastic area to fish and explore though.

My brother and I are going camping in the French River PP, launching from Wolseley bay at the end of the month. Last time on the French River, I was lucky to land a 54" female Muskie. (with a successful live release) Who knows, might catch her again....lol.
Hopefully by months end the water temps have dropped a good 20C+ degrees so the Walleye tie will put on the feed bag.

Good Luck on you on your trip.

Cheers,

since your launching at wolseley bay, stop in at wolseley lodge and buy a map off of Harold.

Have him point out the Twins. Which is really the only major shoal that is in the middle of a channel that I have come across. Respect all shore lines and islands and youll be fine.

Ask him to show the common routes as well.

Map is 25$ and its waterproof.

Well worth the money for me as I mark everything on this map weeds, shoals and of course my honey holes
