Sitka Herring Fishery



I always miss being in Sitka this time of year for the herring fishery. My mom took these pictures from the beach on Tuesday. 5,000 tons of herring were harvested in an hour and a half. It is an intense fishery with a lot at stake for the fishermen. They can either land on the fish and make a lot of money or come up empty.
