Heat shrink will extend the life of a nicked flyline,,,, I have done this successfully,,, just be careful not to over heat the actual fly line as overheating could "curl" the line.If you have some heat shrink and a heat gun, you might be able to repair it. Similar to welding loop ends. That is if the core is not compromised.

Thanks.
When you say "end",This weekend I noticed an oyster cut about 15’ from the end of the weight forward, floating line on my 9 weight. Is it ok to cut it back to that point and re-tie my leader, or should I scrap it and re-spool? Thanks, Steve.
It’s the tip, he mentions cutting it there and tying his leader to it.When you say "end",
is this 15' from the front end or back end closest to the backing?
Yeah, thanks Smack. Then I say seal it with aquaseal and use it for a backup after buying a new replacement.It’s the tip, he mentions cutting it there and tying his leader to it.
My 10 wt line got into the vacuum cleaner. It had 2 bad gashes but the core looked ok. I used super glue. a few months later, I landed (to the boat) a 5 foot lemon shark that had me way into my backing. I now store my rods/reels on the wall. Wife won’t let me stop vacuuming!This weekend I noticed an oyster cut about 15’ from the end of the weight forward, floating line on my 9 weight.
