Yes, that works very well with larger flies, but many times small flies are difficult to get ahold of and often requires grabbing the fish with one hand while removing the hook with the other. The Ketchum Release works first time, every time and there is no handling of the fish.
Additionally, when a person is using multiple fly setups, running your hand down the line leads to hooks in the hand when the fish flips around and the mono leader/tippet slips.
Thank you, No. I have evolved.
