Know Your Water Before You Fish It
Water temperature tells you more about where trout are holding and how they will eat than almost anything else on the river. The Fishpond Riverkeeper Digital Thermometer gives you a fast, accurate read so you can make better calls on fly choice, depth and timing.
It is also the simplest way to look out for the fish. When late summer flows drop and the water warms on the Gunnison or the Uncompahgre, a quick check tells you when it is time to reel up and give the trout a break.
Fishpond built the Riverkeeper as the only IPX7 submersible rated digital thermometer designed by and for fly anglers. It clips to your pack, sling or vest and stays out of the way until you need it.

How to Use It
Hold the button for 2 seconds to turn it on or off. Submerge the probe and wait for the reading to settle. Press the button three times quickly to switch between °F and °C. A display of HHH means the reading is above 130°F, and LLL means it is below -30°F.
