There are few places on the web that have maps and such. Most are fairly basic and don't give you very detailed road/trail info.
I would reccommend getting some 7.5 Minute USGS topographical maps. I have found them extremely helpful in studying terrain prior to going and they do a fairly good job at telling you where roads and trails are. I get mine at a place in Lindon called "Utah Idaho Map Supply World", each map costs $6 dollars or so and they will laminate it for you for another couple of bucks. Finding the one you want could be fun at times, I had to have help from the store employee the first time I bought one, but once you see how it's done it's pretty easy. Not sure where you are, but I'm sure other places would carry them too.
As far as the fishing....well, I can't help you much there. I'm about the worst fisherman on this forum, you really don't want any of my advice. I think that PETA has placed some sort of voodoo on me so I won't ever catch any fish.
Good luck on your trip, I want to go out there some time too. Roughing it Outdoors had a section on the boulder mountain lakes and it looked amazing. It looks like even someone like me could catch something there.
