Most of the time, if I have roe left over, it never even makes it back to the fridge.  As long as theres lots of borax, its all good.  I remember fishing with a bag of roe that lasted 3 or 4 trips over 4 week period, and it spanked the Coho at the Chehalis each time.  Probably shouldnt try this in the heat of summer though.

I saw a guy catch a steelhead on the crustiest looking roe that was about 4 years old judging by the lable on the jar...sometimes I think we fishermen over think things too much...its not like a fish's brain is overly evolved  ;)
