Fish Hawk TD Using

Using the Fish Hawk TD
(Manufacturer instructions should be inside the package)
Items needed:
1. Fish Hawk TD device
2. Fishing rod/reel (at least 10lb line please!) or long rope/string
3. Data sheet (for recording information)
4. Pencil
To measure Temperature and Depth for the LMVP:
1. Write the current date and your sampling location on the "Temperature and Depth Log Sheet".
2. Clip Fish Hawk to fishing line. A swivel snap on your fishing line will make this easier.
3. Press "Start" on the Fish Hawk. After a few seconds, "Ready" will flash in the top left corner of
the display.
Please make sure the Fish Hawk settings match those in Figure 1
4. Lower the Fish Hawk in to the lake and allow it to sink to the bottom. It is OK to add weight to
your fishing line if necessary. Retrieve the Fish Hawk.
5. Press the "View" button. Record the first measurements (Temperature at surface, depth should
be 0). Press "View" again to obtain the next set of measurements and record them. Repeat until
you return to the surface measurement (see Figure 2)
6. Fish Hawk will shut off automatically, or you can press and hold "Start" to turn it off.
It is OK to use a single Temperature and Depth Log Sheet on multiple sampling dates, if room is
available.
