Water thermometer

[Tim H]

Anyone got any ideas on where I can get a reliable water thermometer

[Awesome]

any place that does garden tools, most will be accurate enough for what you want!
focus
b&q
range

Tried that and air thermometers do not give an accurate reading in water. really fancy an electronic gismo

that sounds like the sort of toot that Kim would sell in his shop.

I dont normally stock them but I can get them in.

[Awesome]

ive got an electric gizmo, it has a main body + extension, it will just do readings in the margin. which is not acurate enough! as there will be at least 2 deg difference, between sunny and shaded margins .
so whats wrong with a glass thermometer? why is this not acurate enough?

[madaboutsilurus]

in the days of old and the anally retentive anglers used to think that you could not catch carp in winter, there were tools designed to maximise the best chances. one of them was a brass tube with holes all along it which had a weight at the bottom and an eye on the top.
in the tube was a traditional glass thermometer.

you attached the mainline to the eye and cast it to where you intended to fish. after leaving it a while you then reeled in an took your reading. that was more accurate but it all seems pointless to me.

yes its nice to have the knowlege, but i dont think water temp will help at all.
fish feeding, well they do it as and when they need it! they dont know how to read thermometers either ops:

Fish will feed in the warmer layers of water, these may be at the bottom or mid water, trying to find these is a trial and error exercise, nothing to do with a thermometer, just water craft.

wish i had never asked.
Just want something more accurate.
Yes water craft does play a part but would like to know what temp the chub turn off at, and they do.

Kim if you could get one would be good
