Retrieval hook

摘要

A compact, light weight device for facilitating the retrieval of artificial flies from trees or other elevated objects includes a hook which may be coated with a soft non-slip material coupled to a quick release strap, which may be made of "hook and loop" material, and a strong line. The strap is wrapped around a pole to position the hook. The pole may be removed from the release strap before the line is pulled to facilitate the object retrieval. A tube with one open and one closed end may be coupled to hook. A pole or the tip of a fly rod may be inserted into the tube to position the hook. This pole or fly rod may be removed after the hook is positioned.
