How to Keep Fish?

[riverdog]

I'd go years between keeping trout but when I rarely wanted to it was a pain. I also tended to cover a lot of ground moving upstream. Frequently miles. Skip the creel. Just keep a few fish at the very end of your time fishing. Plan on doing this we're fishing is usually nonstop and decent size fish are common. That's where you should be fishing the bulk of your time anyways. Keep a 2-3 2 pound trout rather than worry about how to keep the bigger one fresh for a couple hours.
