Fisheries / fishing
French term or phrase: relâche
Hello,

Context fly fishing. Assembling the equipment.

"Grâce à une savante épissure il va relier la soie à un gros brin de dacron orange auquel il attachera un butt en mono 80 lb par un « boucle dans boucle ».La jonction orange est bien visible et le noeud qui arrive dans le premier anneau annonce une relâche officielle pour le capitaine. "

This has nothing to do with "relâche" as in "putting into a port".

I understand it like this "after the knot shows in the first ring, the captain can relax", meaning that the links are carried out correctly and he has nothing to worry about...

Your help is highly appreciated!
Thank you.
