Some rules need to be broken...Repeatedly:: Clean them on the bank, make sure you through everything you arent going to take home in the river(except your garbage). The intestines and carcasses provide critical nutrients back to the river for smolt and fry. Always clean them in the river.
If you think that the rule is "wrong" and can prove it - contact ODFW. They are not idiots the are highly educated professionals. If what you are saying makes sense they would change the rule. But I doubt they made this rule because they didn't know how it's good for rivers if we gut fish on the bank. Any way, if this rule good or bad, it's a rule. Think twice before you brake it. Think more before you advise others to do it. Especially, as Jeanna noticed, when you have a "Moderator" badge on your chest.Clean them on the bank
odfw knows what they are doing
