Outdoor Canada’s 2024 Father’s Day gift guide: Great outdoor gear, tackle, apparel, accessories, gadgets and more

FISH HAWK TD

If Dad is a serious fisherman, here’s a device he’ll love. Anglers in the know increasingly understand that water temperature is a key factor for locating fish—especially fave Canadian coldwater species such as lake trout, pike and walleye. In summer, most of our lakes stratify into temperature bands, and fish  seek out their preferred temperature at very specific depths. But how do you know the water temperature 20, 40, 60 or 100 feet below your boat? Enter the Fish Hawk TD: A remarkable thermometer that records water temperature every 5 feet from the surface to the bottom. Simply drop it to the bottom, then haul it back up to locate the depth you should be fishing in. It can go as deep as 300 feet, and it’s suitable for use in both fresh- and saltwater. You can see Outdoor Canada fishing editor Gord Pyzer using a Fish Hawk TD to locate lake trout in this short video.
