I marked my line with colored electrical tape. If you go to any hardware store or dollar store they have several colors in a package for cheap.

My chain is 25', then I put a red tape around the line at another 25', the green at the next 25', then blue. Then I repeat R,G,B until I run out of line.

So at the sand bar in waist high water, just let out the chain. At Timber in 15' let out to the red. At 25' go to the green. If it's windy go halfway to the next color.

You don't have to be exact, I measured the line in five foot chunks with my arms. The tape falls off after a few years but it's cheap and easy to replace.
