About the fish . . .
We are only a little distance from the river and it is late autumn, so the days are colder. They won't spoil between the river and the campsite.
It is fine to take back the whole fish to the campsite. We can clean and gut them there, and preferably bone them. They'll be opened up, butterfly style, with a sharpened stick woven the length of each side and stuck in the ground very near the fire so that they get the heat and the smoke.
