The Ketchum Release Tool offers two significant benefits: it saves fish and it saves flies. The Ketchum Release effectively removes a fly hook without air exposure or fish handling. The elimination of these risk factors increases the survival rate of released fish. As fly anglers the most significant contribution we can make to our world is the survivability of our own fisheries. In addition, the Ketchum Release will not damage flies like traditional clamping devices can. By saving flies, the tool can pay for itself in just a few fishing sessions. US Patent #5,644,865
