creel

Wicker fish holder

A creel is a basket used by anglers to hold caught fish, typically woven from wicker and worn at the hip or slung over the shoulder.

The term extends to similar containers used in textile manufacturing to hold bobbins or spools of yarn: He dropped the trout into his creel and waded downstream.
