  • Patent number: 5644865
    Abstract: A fish hook remover, designed to minimize damage to an artificial fly and to minimize human contact with a fish during fish hook removal, comprises an elongated body having a removal tip integral to a first end of the elongated body, and a handle attached to a second end of the elongated body. The removal tip comprises a guide region and a tubular head. The tubular head defines a slot on its surface and a chamber on its interior, and is positioned relative to the elongated body such that an axis defined by the chamber of the tubular head is offset by more than zero degrees but less than ninety degrees from an axis defined by the elongated body. The removal tip is designed to allow a user to easily slide a fishing line, which is tensioned by the weight of a caught fish, into the tubular head chamber via the slot.
