I found this at the bottom of my grandfathers creel. I don't know what it is.
This tool is/was used for taking samples from the trouts stomach without having to clean the fish properly whilst in the middle of a session.
Catch a trout,push the spoon down the fishes throat and into its stomach,turn the spoon and take out the sample,see what the fish has been eating,tie on the correct representation and continue fishing. Handy for when fish were almost certainly caught for food.
Your grandad wasn’t daft terryll
