UNDERSTAND THE NUMBERS

Feet, meters and what they mean.

For non-negative depth measurements. Not for converting gauge datums or calculating safe passage.

30.00 feet

9.14 meters

5.00 fathoms

Three numbers that mean different things

Bottom depth: surface to bottom at a location. Fish depth: where fish hold in that water column. River stage: water level relative to a gauge-specific reference. Converting units does not make these measurements interchangeable.

A fathom is six feet. A foot is exactly 0.3048 meters. This tool only changes units; it does not read current water levels or tell you where fish are.
