After an hours drive I entered the water for what I thought would be a great day of fishing. I wasn't in the water for 5 min. when I hooked onto a beautiful rainbow. I released and kept fishing with luck changing I decided to change flys. After a few more cast. My line started to tighten up on my reel. Some how without noticing I dragged in discarded tippit, so tight into my reel I had to leave. I drove to to the fly shop (Lower forty outfitters.) the owner, Jim Binder offered to help cut out the line from my reel. This cost me the price of new line leader, tippit, and a lost day of fishing.
Pick up discarded line, even if it is not yours
