Keeping it dry is a good idea. Prevents the need for airing out the smell again when it gets wet. I always get mine wet, not necessarily for fish, so I'm making unnecessary work for myself.

Thanks!

Ziploc bags would work too. Flat, small and non-rigid shape.

Another thought on using trash bags: Avoid black trash bags unless you want to start cooking your fish early -- absorbs solar energy/heat. Maybe we all know this already, but I thought I better mention it just in case ;-)

Burlap sacks are much cooler and breathe more easily than anything else I can think of. Just keep splashing them with water. Carrying ice is more clutter, another step, something else to buy, more weight/volume, etc., unless it conveniently fits into a container that fits with a streamline shape to fit your kayak.

I like simplicity.
