WOW. That's a lot of information. :shock: It doesn't seem as simple as I had hoped. I had never considered the cooling effects of the wind and it pushing specific temperatures of water with it. It appears that water at 39.2F would always remain at the bottom of the water column due to it being the h...

Hi All,

Is there a general rule of thumb to estimate water temperature at specific depths? For example: if the surface temp is 60F, how deep must you get to reach 50F

Thanks Everyone! All this advice is great :D I have been eyeing the Clarus, as it is a little cheaper than the Compre. Still haven't made up my mind yet. Good advice about line stretch.

Have a great week

Please feel free to offer more suggestions.
