Collection: Sonar Fishing Systems

Finding fish under the ice or in deep water is the biggest challenge in fishing — and sonar fishing systems solve it. Whether you’re ice fishing a Colorado reservoir and need to see exactly where fish are holding relative to your bait, or you’re trolling open water and want to understand the depth and structure below your boat, a quality sonar unit gives you the underwater intelligence to fish smarter and catch more. Glenwood Springs Outdoors carries sonar fishing systems for ice fishing and open-water applications.

Ice Fishing Sonar (Flashers)

Flasher-style sonar units are the gold standard for ice fishing — providing real-time depth readings, fish location, and bait position in an easy-to-read circular display. A flasher shows you exactly where your jig is in the water column, where fish are holding, and how they’re responding to your presentation — information that transforms ice fishing from a guessing game into a precision sport. Top brands like Vexilar and Marcum produce flashers specifically engineered for the demands of ice fishing in cold temperatures.

Fish Finders & Depth Finders

Traditional fish finder units with LCD screens display depth, water temperature, bottom composition, and fish arches in a format that’s easy to interpret for open-water fishing. Modern units combine GPS mapping with sonar for a complete picture of the water you’re fishing — letting you mark productive spots, follow depth contours, and return to productive structure season after season.

Choosing the Right Sonar System

The right sonar system depends on how and where you fish. Ice anglers benefit most from a dedicated flasher for its real-time response and cold-weather reliability. Open-water anglers fishing from a boat or kayak benefit from a traditional fish finder with GPS mapping. Our staff can help you select the right unit for your specific fishing style and the waters you fish most in Western Colorado.
