Very nice article, clearly presented but as with all such explanations of marking and indeed many other comments/articles etc that are posted regarding location of features they always leave a gap with regard to measurement of distance. This article is a case in point: put are marker on your line fine but then what? What if you find two or three features in your search of the swim??
If I was going to map a swim I would surely need depths and distances (angles as well for that matter but that is perhaps getting too pernickity
Casting distance is a related issue, we hear much of 30yds out 50 over 80 etc. How do people know that what they think is 30yds is anything of the sort?
I have set up a marker rod and was intending to try and mark the line in 5yd intervals. Has anyone else done this and if so what method of marking did they use such that you can not only see the marks but have some idea of distance on each mark?
