I was finally able to use my Ketchum Release today. It’s slicker than snot at -20 degrees.

It’s the way to go for me. If I catch a large trout, then I’ll use a net, but since I don’t catch large trout I don’t need a net very often.
For me, it took some getting used to. Every once in a while I still have problems with it coming off the tippet. But I like it and will continue to use it.
I have one. It’s a great little device!
I love mine!
For a guy that “doesn’t catch big trout”, you sure catch some nice fish!

My only quibble with it is that you have to carry multiples if you fish different size flies or bead head nymphs. I tend to jump around from large bead heads to stuff in between and down to midge sized flies. It does ok on a range of flies though. I also tried a couple of other options and the wire based one is nice only because you don’t have to change sizes and it still works well.
