I use a Shimano fishing pack. 1 front compartments and one main that has 2 dividers inside. The bottom has a seperate compartment that clips to the main pack. It has a zip front and holds 2 seperate plastic gear tubbs. I keep one stocked with salmon gear the other with trout/steelhead.
You are in northern OR right? You know you are allowed to fillet fish now right (outside 150 feet of river).......I carry Gallon ziplocks, fillet fish and bag fillets and carcase seperate and put those bags in a garbage bag and put them inside the pack. Trying to pack whole fish out is a major hassel. Few years back 2 buddies and I hiked into Rainey Falls (Rogue River) and limited out all 3 days we camped. Back then no fillet allowed. We had to take turns carrying out a 160 lbs pack the 3 miles in 110 degree heat. No bueno.......
My fishing pack still isn't a hiking one. So it still depends on the hike what I take. Hard hike? Backpacking pack. Short to no hike fishing pack.

When I used to fish for steelhead, I'd just make my girlfriend carry the days catch back between her thighs on the hike out.
Of course, I never could get that dang smell out of the fish afterwards...
Fly fishermen are like guys from Texas. You don't have to ask, they'll tell you!!!
or an illegal alien...
