I don't own a thermometer that I carry when I go fishing. Just wondering what kind\brand\size of thermometer you guys who have them use.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I like the Fishpond model better than the Orvis model. More for storage than anything.
Totally agree! I'll have to start doing something like that. I've lost track of how many I've left in streams. Probably around ten, no lie. I just left one this past Friday. I actually keep a back-up because I do it so often.Bamboozle wrote:
It is REALLY EASY to put a stream thermometer in the water and forget you left it there. As a result, I have always attached my thermometer to me in some fashion, usually with a thin cord which I wrap around the thermometer when not in use.

It seems like it should be easy for someone to make a small thermometer with a digital display that is powered by a small battery.
So do I, but they (and just about any old Hardy gadget) have become collectable. When I saw what some people pay for them, I retired mine years ago.Trapshooter wrote:
Geez, I still have my Hardy thermometer that I bought in the late 70's.

I appreciate that and they do belong on the water, not a shelf.Trapshooter wrote:
