I think the options are..

1. Take the fish home on ice and clean them there.  This leaves you with lesser quality fish and fish carcasses stinking up your garbage can at home.
2. Bring a cutting board and clean them on your cooler / tail gait and dump the carcasses in the nearest trash can or dumpster that might not get picked up for days.  No business or visitor to a public area wants to smell your dead fish.
3. pay $3 at Webb Park.

I will say that I wish there was better signage about the fee at Webb Park.

Or freeze the carcass for your favorite dungeons crab bait.

Let's just say that the current host of Webb is not my favorite.  ::)  Aside from lecturing me about the speed limit in the campground (my fault, but I don't need the lecture) he has also tried to tell me how I should clean my fish even though he had never so much as caught bottom fish before, let alone cleaned them.  I think there are a few other things he did that rubbed me the wrong way.  So be warned, he's a cranky dude.

I don't have a problem with paying the day use fee, but they do need to come up with a better way for people to pay.  I'm not saying they need a state-of-the-art Portland parking meter style kiosk, but the yellow envelopes crap is getting old.  And yes, a shelter from the wind would be nice.

It's almost a PC rite of passage to get fish fillet advise from him  ::).

Wow at least he didn't give me advise on how to clean my fish. So now I feel a lot better now that others have chimed in about this subject.  :D

+1!!! I'm surprised so many on here throw away the other 2/3 of the fish.
