Its the first question i ask anybody when talking about a recent trip, followed by how deep?
I'm very passionate about the well being of our waterways, so if a stream thermometer can help me understand it better I'm all for it!

As for the depth question, the deepest hole i fished in couldnt be more than 3-4 feet, however most of the river is more like a foot deep.
