I also prefer to keep my catch on ice. I put them right on the ice and then clean them as soon as possible... then back on the ice they go until I can filet them, eat them, or freeze them. I think dragging them on a stringer is okay in cold water situations, but I hate to see a stringer full of fish that have been sitting in bathtub warm water all day! I'm a little more finicky than the average guy, but I don't eat fish if I'm not sure they were properly taken care of. (I don't ever buy fish... I catch my own to eat or don't eat it at all) I also would suggest having a seperate cooler for your drinks and food. Nothing worse than opening a can of coke, putting it to your lips, and smelling fish! But again, I'm more finicky than most! LOL
As far as the waders go, I imagine you'd be fine but approach a likely spot (like a log or whatever) with caution. I guess it would be just like stream fishing, be careful not to spook the fish out of the hole before you get a shot at catching them.
Hope this helps! Check out the recipe board like tubeN2 suggested, and keep the questions coming!
Take care, bkidder
