Taking accurate water temperature

[finchaser]

A thermometer designed for taking stream temperatures. Basically a mercury thermometer with an aluminum out side shell extremely accurate. I attach to the snap on my leader from surf or boat . I keep one in my truck with a line attached to get temperature at the mouth of inlet for ocean, canal for upper bay and a dock for river. I store them in plastic cigar tubes that I drill small drain holes in the bottom. They fit in a bucktail slot in my plug bags for storage. I have 4 so one is always with me.

Looks very nice and compact finchaser. Can you get them locally or do u have to send away for it.

[finchaser]

online unless you live near an Orvis or LL bean store

Thanks for sharing that. So when you post those reports about the temp you are actually taking it each time you go out? a lot better than getting it from an online source which may not be accurate. cool

[finchaser]

yes sir my reports that contain water temp are taken by me

That's a neat innovation thank you for sharing.

Yeah and when you put it on a length of line you can get a more accurate reading. Good deal.
