A quick FYI: Standard, modern fishing line is monofilament nylon. However, fluorocarbon is also quite common as fishing line, considerably denser, and requires a resultantly lesser diameter at given pitch and scale than nylon. Do you know, t'other Eugene, if you were using nylon or fluorocarbon as a chanterelle? At what pitch (can we assume g')?
