Ketchum Release® Fly Hook Remover

Fish saver.

Our breakout product in the fly fishing industry, years ago, we thought: “There’s 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 handling—then 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.
