Pro Tip

Always wet the surface of the cradle with river or lake water before laying your fish down. This cools the material and protects the delicate protective slime coat and scales of your catch. On windy days, make use of the built-in pegging points to anchor the cradle firmly to the bank, preventing it from blowing away while you ready your camera and unhooking tools.
