Wow! All these responses for something so simple. And all good answers too!

Last year I overnighted a breakfast walleye on cord 'n stringer for morning but got up and found it was a better day to travel. What to do with the fish is what I wondered while packing up. Letting it go would be cruel and illegal. I ended up filleting and bagged it with just enough water to keep it wet and kept it cooled in with the cheese and sausage. This was after a week in august so the cheese was rather oily by then. The water aspect was simply what I was taught.

That fish was fine 12 hours later and on Jesse no less. I don't usually paddle that far in a day but being a day ahead I poked around not having any real plan and eventually wondered how I'd dispose of it if my nose said no way.

Jesse was empty but I took the last viable site so I was tired and hungry. Setting up I wondered ... I didn't really trust it. My nose said it smelled like water. I wasn't a believer. It didn't wiggle as I breaded it. My mouth said MMMMM, buttered crunches, different texture ... tummy was silent beyond thanks. I don't remember any fish meals after that one but none were better and I was kinda worried about that one.

My mouth is watering now - damnit.

I've never considered traveling type legalities within the park. I'd assume any fish kept wouldn't exceed the possession limit on any one species anyway but I personally wouldn't take any fish out of Pickerel and put it in another lake anymore. I don't even know what Spiny Water Fleas do but I know their presence has been confirmed in Pickerel.
