This catch and release tool is designed for the fly angler to easily and gently release any fish hooked with a single fly quickly without handling. It releases fish while wading or after netting from a boat, resulting in fast return to the water, dry hands, less damage to your fly and most importantly, improved survival of your fish. Great for all fly anglers: experienced, novice, young, disabled and squeamish alike. Why the No Touch Release? Prevents injury and disease to fish from needless handling and is therefore good for the fishery. Easy to use and even works well for anglers with impaired vision or who have tremors in the arms or hands. Release is easier for novice anglers and others who may be squeamish about touching fish. Less need to restrain wiggly fish which are otherwise difficult to render hook-free. Automatically seeks the bend of the hook, eliminating the occasional difficulty of seeing the hook’s orientation in the fish. Releases foul hooked fish with the same ease as fish hooked in the corner of the mouth. Hands stay dry in cold weather. Flies last longer without pinching their dressings. Spend more time fishing and less time releasing.
