Full Version: Casting onto snow

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on whether or not casting onto snow damages fly line?

Sure, all lines are different and all snow is different and therefore the damage might depend on those two factors.

If you were to test out a rod/line during the winter, does doing so on the snow screw up the line? What if it was a group of people testing the same rod with the same line, would the increase from 1 to say 10 casters be enough difference to then worry about?

Snow won't hurt it. Mainly just be careful of practice casting on cement, and believe it or not even grass isn't good for lines. It's always been said casting on grass is fine but actually the line will pick up dirt and debris from grass and make it sink if its not cleaned up good. But snow shouldn't be anything to worry about. But you do know casting into WATER might give you better luck right? tongue.gif

Yes just like concret or fresh cut grass, snow will cut on certain conditions, if its a hard snow (crust).

Yellow snow is best.
