Beautiful day on the river Saturday. I noticed a couple of risers on the far side of a bend in the river ahead of me. Thinking the fish are spooky this time of year after seeing light pressure all winter, I pulled a nice double haul over the bend, leaving a little of my line on the shore. Four seconds later and the fight was on, resulting in an 18" brown to hand.
I noticed a length of 8 lb test coming out of its mouth with swivel and sinker still attached. I cut the line at his mouth, removed my fly and set him free.
What will happen to the hook that he had swallowed? I have heard that they dissolve, does anyone know how long that takes?
