We worked on a version of thermal fishing bob described here:

[http://publiclab.org/wiki/thermal-fishing-bob](http://publiclab.org/wiki/thermal-fishing-bob)

We found there were problems with the circuit diagram shown in this wiki page.

This version uses a 10K Thermistor from Ada Fruit:

[http://www.adafruit.com/products/372](http://www.adafruit.com/products/372)
It comes with a 1% 10K resistor which you can use as calibration or for a resistor divider

Additional parts:
* 1 [common-anode RGB LED](http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10820)
* wire
* [a breadboard](http://www.sparkfun.com/products/7916) or circuit board & soldering eqmt.
* [Arduino](http://arduino.cc)
* 9v battery and holder

We had some successful tests:

The circuit inside its repurposed Kool-Aid enclosure.

We stabilized it with styrofoam cups.

And deployed it in the bathtub.
