Oh duuuuude. How the hell would that even happen. Were you throwing a big streamer with a heavy tippet?

Slice should have grabbed that line and pulled in that fish by hand, eh?

Bead head pheasant tail prince nymph. 4wt rod and had been catching the smallest rainbows you’ve ever seen. Had 8# tippet because that’s what I had with me and was too lazy to go out and get something else. Honestly just killing time when a monster hit it. My dumbass pulled hard (“don’t let him off!!! Don’t let him off!!!!”) and snap. The worst was 2 seconds after the break it spit the hook.
This is what I’ve done today

The river is taunting me.
I called TFO to ask about replacing it, and they’re sending out a replacement section. All I have to pay is shipping.

Small hooks. The second you lose the pressure you lose the fish.

Yeah, I figured, but I had to poke you in the ribs a bit.

That’s pretty impressive that they would replace the river for you, other than shipping.
