Lamson's breakout product in the fly fishing industry. Years ago, they 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 they created an innovative tool capable of reducing fish mortality by eliminating netting and handling, then named it after their home base of Ketchum, Idaho. This technique will preserve protective coatings and eliminate air exposure for trout. 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® Standard works for fly sizes 12-16. Show more
