Paul - I had something similar happen, though it was my welded loop that was damaged. Since this is so close to the end, I'd suggest cutting it off just above the damaged and either tying the leader directly to the fly line or doing what I did - taking it to Orvis. They tied on this pre-built welded loop so I could still make loop-to-loop connections. I hadn't seen anything like it before, but thought it was perfect. And it might be just the thing for you to replace the few inches of fly line that you'll be losing.
I believe Dan helped me out with this...

I got snagged on a rock at Gravelly Point last night and in the process of freeing (breaking off) my line the end of my fly line was damaged (see photo). Question: what can/should I do about this? Does this compromise the strength of the line? Is there some kind of glue/sealant I could use to coat this area? Should I just cut it off and tie the leader to the fly line? Thanks in advance for the advice.--
