Waterworks-Lamson® Ketchum Release® Tool

Fish mortality can be reduced by landing the fish quickly and by avoiding netting and handling. This technique will preserve protective coatings and eliminate air exposure. The Ketchum Release® tool makes this low-mortality release easy. The tool also allows you to retrieve your fly without damage, it allows your hands to stay dry in cold weather, and it keeps hands a safe distance from toothy fish.
