That's put and end to my idea of marking the line.
Oh well back to the drawing board.

Not quite the same and a little off topic but it's quite helpful to mark a
fly-line when fishing for seatrout in the dark. The trick is to work out
(in daylight) a line you can wade by the feel of the bottom and then put a
blob of something you can feel on the line so that you can confidently cast
close to far-bank features on the black nights when they feed best.

So you were on the right lines.

Cheerio,
