Snake River Mud, etc...

Hi Ralph, Now we're talking! I think line glint is a far bigger issue than index of refraction in seeing lines in the water but of course it depends on the orientation of sun and line to the viewer - I have no solid proof one way or the other but you can likely resolve this issue with your underwater work. I know for fluoro, the old Seaguar CarbonPro seemed to have an unusually non-reflecting finish. I have not found a similar nylon... It is worth noting that some fly fishers use a green scrub pad to remove the shine from tippet though I wonder if this might just makes the glint worse. The other solution is to rub Snake River Mud on the tippet to remove the shine from tippet (in addition to making it sink more easily)... Steve P.
