The situation on the Stave means that you have to haul your catch quite a distance back to your car.
Any suggestion for carrying two large chum back to the car would be appreciated . I am aware of the
vests with the pocket on the back but I was hoping for a DIY solution.
-
Good troll!
-
I have never seen a "clean" chum over about 10 lbs on the Stave. Bleed and gut it immediately and you can just carry them in a clear plastic bag or backpack.
Do not use a garbage bag as they have chemicals to control odours.
-
A bucket or a pale is quite popular at the Stave
-
Do you have a hiking pack? Wrap in plastic and pack them out...
-
Bring a buddy and 6 pack wouldn't hurt either.
-
Thanks for the help . I think an old large backpack is probably the best bet. Some of you may not be
aware of how far the walk is from the east side now that construction has closed Hayward St.
-
Its a short walk, though I enjoy walking.
When I was there two weekends ago someone stopped and said a sow with 4 ! cubs had been just spotted near the gate area
I brought my camera but didnt see them
Just leave the fish in a sack behind a tree at the road side, drive up grab them and done
or if you are healthy just get the free exercise carrying them out on a stick like we used to do at scale bar lol
-
Sometimes posting a thread is much like doing a search. Some of the information is useful, some not so much.
I can make the walk , I just thought someone might have an innovative idea. My bad.
-
Get the Ikea blue bags. A couple of years ago, FFM and I each packed out 40 pounds of coho from the Vedder (Yes they were big).

Thank you Stratocaster!!!!
-
personally i carry a burlap sack to keep my fish in....
-
leadbelly is right that's how I'd do it just stash it or hide it in the bush or stump and come back for it with your car less hassle
-
keep in mind though that its best that you put the fish in some sort of plastic bag (you can get the clear yard bags cheap) and then put it in the ikea bags. The blood and slime from the fish may make a mess of the ikea bag and some of it could seep through.
-
My method:
1) Get a strong stick/branch (should be at least 3/4" thick)
2) string salmon on branch through mouth/gills
3) put stick over shoulder
or
4) get buddy to carry one end of stick and you carry the other
Done this many times and always helps carry fish in a pinch.

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....
-
turn the waders inside out and chuck em in.... gotta do what ya gotta do lol
-
^
That's definatly thinking outside the box
-
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.

Hey, that's my idea! lol.
Had to use that one a few times before I had my truck ;D
Make sure you leave your waders outside to hang for a day or two though :-X
-
I have the best system around, I get who ever my fishing partner is and have them carry all my fish.

Big tackle box, I mean big tackle box.

IF you manage clean chums on the Stave then clean, fillet and have yourself a shore lunch by the time you get them home they will have spoiled and softened anyhow ::)
seriously though i actually like the Ikea bag the best, might just pack one along for my Chehalis trips where i walk alot more than normal.........isnt that right FFM and Stratocaster ;)
-
yep great for trips up to the canyon right? ;)
-
I use one of these. It will hold 40-50 lbs if you are so inclined, and can accommodate fish to 40" but is also good for a couple of trout. It has a divider, so have ice on one side, the fish go in the other.

That's a neat little thing that ' Katch Kooler ' Did you pick it up locally? If so, whereabouts?
-
I got it from LMS in Bellingham but they do internet orders as well.
