Winter storage for fly lines.

[piscatus absentis]

Get an old bike wheel and discard the tyre and tube.  Wind your lines round it over the winter.  No coils at the start of the season.  One wheel holds up to four lines.

if they are kept at the same temperature what could happen over the winter?

Not much. This all harks back to the "good old" days of silk lines. Buy a decent low memory  line and you can just leave it on the reel.

Right enough Fred, Snowbee XS floater on the reel for 3 seasons, a quick stretch and memory gone.

Me too. If you choose wisely, modern supple lines don't have the same tendency to impersonate springs as they used to.
The only problems I have had with memory recently have been with recalling rather than coiling

Mono cores are notorious for memory problems, is your wulff line a mono core?

I've only ever had problem with memory from one line, a glasgow angling centre own brand that i started out with, now that thing was rubbish! All the lines i've owned and used since have been memory free, PP, Rio, Cortland and a couple Snowbees from other people have all be perfectly fine left on reels.
