There's a fish-cleaning table right IN the river at this landing.  Driving out on the gravel bar is the norm, too.  It was a good place to field-dress my sockeye salmon.  Tossing the guts out into the river has them devoured by hungry gulls within seconds.  That's illegal in many places, but in Alaska it's the preferred way of dealing with fish waste: these ecosystems are driven by dead salmon and fully equipped to deal with it. From the Gulkana River in Alaska.
