I am hoping to be out on the opener in area 10 this weekend. I expect that there will be some incidental catch of ESA Chinook. As there is no swim step or easy way to reach the water I am looking for an simple way or device to help de-hook Fish.

I have heard that a dowel with an open eye hook, like a teacup hanger, can be used to release fish unharmed. Run the eye hook to the hook, shake it and they come loose.

Has anyone used such a tool? Can you describe such a thing?

Thanx
