Ketchum Release Fly Hook Remover
Fish saver. Our breakout product in the fly fishing industry, years ago, we thought: Theres got to be a better way to remove a delicately-tied fly from a hooked fish than the hoisting, clamping, and wrenching process now on display. So we created a simply innovative tool capable of reducing fish mortality by eliminating netting and handlingthen named it after our home-base of Ketchum, Idaho. This technique will preserve protective coatings and eliminate air exposure. The Ketchum Release tool makes low-mortality release easy, plus allows you to retrieve your fly without damage. It even keeps your hands high and dry. The Ketchum Release is available in three sizes: Big Bug for hook sizes 6-10; Standard for sizes 12-16; and Midge for sizes 18-22.

A working product .
- Familiarity:
- I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
This one I gave for a gift as I already had one and although I use barbless hooks occasionally a fly is lodged deeper in the throat the Ketchum release works well to release the hook !
