You have a trout hit.........

You set the hook............
The set is not a good one........

Your line comes back limp.........
You have half your leader come back.......

The fly was a size 4....debarbed carefully.......

How long do you think it will take that fish to LOSE that fly/leader?

Do you think that trout is going to die?

Have any of you caught a trout with a leader hanging out of its mouth?

Do you think a larger fish has more of a chance living through a situation described?
