FREEING THE LINE
By CLARENCE GRAHAM
While casting for trout with a spinner, my hook got caught on the bottom. The stream was too deep and swift to wade and as it was my last spinner I was up against it for a while. After trying all sorts of ways to get it loose, I finally picked up a piece of wood about three feet long and two inches wide. To this I tied a piece of string about one-third of the way from one end.
I then made a loop in the string which would slide easily along my line and set the stick adrift. The current carried it down. I held a tight line and the stick went right over the spot where my hook was and danced around. In a moment the book came free. This kink usually works very nicely and has saved several spinners for me since.
