A bucket or a pale is quite popular at the Stave

Lol! Gotta chop them in pieces first

I also like Texs idea. There have been a few times where I was lucky enough to limit out and a large spring and 3 hatch coho were too much for my arms and tackle. My friend and I strung them on to a strong enough stick and walked out with 8 fish. Made the carry much more manageable.

My friend on the other hand must have a horse shoe jammed up his my friend because he has limited out on coho for the last 4 days now....

I have one of those superstore tote with straps.  Since it is made of plastic, I just wash it out afterwards.

Be careful about reusing bags - there's a fair amount of bacteria that will grow in the bag afterwards.

I normally use a clear, long fish bag - flip it over my shoulder to carry it out.
Throw the bag away when I get home.

You can get the bags at most fishing shops for a couple of bucks.

I saw a guy bring a cooler with wheels to Stave and it had long handle so he could pull it along on the ground. It would have come in real handy if he caught something.   I was thinking one of these might come in handy:

i use the bags that foldable chairs come in. they are small enough to fit in your vest. even have a shoulder strap.

I got a few of the big plastic bags used by courier companies. Perfect.

I like the shopping bag idea.  It adds some class to hauling the milt-spewing carcasses of the hook-nosed rainbow springs a half mile down the road back to your now-vandalized car.  Personally, I'm partial to the shopping cart or baby stroller.

I have the best system around, I get who ever my fishing partner is and have them carry all my fish.
