Some good points here, never thought about the the cleaning of fish part. If I'm at a local spot and I keep a factory, (hatchery) fish then I usually clean it at home. Fron now on I'll do it on the river but away from the present river level, Seagulls got eat too.
Maybe this is a good time to bring up some more things about etiquette on the river. Is there any one out there that knows more river etiquette it might help those who read this post both new and old to the river. Lets not get negative but just some ideas on what would make fishing on our crowded rivers more enjoyable for all.
