From hard-gained experience- stillsmokin comments are spot on.
They way I do it is to wash them before I skin or gut if possible. I string them up and spend time Washing them down. This keeps everything much cleaner and keeps my knife sharper longer ( no cutting through dirt). I then clean it...

Here is my UDS build. If you see anything wrong or something that I can improve one, please let me know.
My build centered around trying to make it as low cost as possible, using what I had laying around. Scrap metal was considered in-bounds.
I started with a drum I had been using for feed...
