    Water temperature thermometer for rivers

    Adam, I would say something like this would be sufficient. Doesn't need batteries, cheap, will withstand being thrown in a bag and should be good enough to give you a good idea of the current temp to about half a C. It can easily be attached to a chord with or without weight and lowered in...

I Have a Rueben Heaton and found it to be the worst but at least is consistent in it's inaccuracy if...

    River temperature taking

    For something affordable, relatively 'bash proof' and easy to read, accurate to around 1c and easy to slip into your bag I would suggest something like this?? https://www.fishingmegastore.com/scales-and-gadgets/stillwater-stream-thermometer~18631.html ;)
