Abstract: A temperature measuring device includes a temperature sensor which is located on the foot of a wader leg. A temperature measurement display device is located on the wader torso. Selectable predetermined temperature alarm limits are included to provide visual, or audible and/or tactile alarms when the temperature measured by the temperature sensor exceeds the predetermined alarm limits.

Abstract: A temperature measuring device includes a temperature sensor which is located adjacent one end of an elongated member such as a hiking/wading staff or a fishing rod. A temperature measurement display device is located in the vicinity of the other end of the elongated member. Selectable predetermined temperature alarm limits are included to provide visual, or audible and/or tactile alarms when the temperature measured by the temperature sensor exceeds the predetermined alarm limits. In another embodiment, the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the temperature measurement display through a connector disposed in a fishing reel which, when mounted on the handle of the fishing rod, effects the electrical connection between the temperature sensor and the temperature measurement display to be made.

Abstract: A water temperature measuring device includes a temperature sensor which is located adjacent one end of an elongated member such as a hiking/wading staff or a fishing rod. A temperature readout device is located in the vicinity of the other end of the elongated member. The output of the temperature sensor is electrically coupled to the temperature readout device which is powered by an electric storage battery or a solar power supply contained in a handle of the hiking/wading staff or fishig rod. In another embodiment, the temperature readout device is located in a fishing reel which is mounted on the handle of the fishing rod. Mounting of the reel on the rod causes the making of electrical contact between the readout device and the temperature sensor and power source.
