Herring are an anadromous fish that breeds in the swamps of northeastern North Carolina each spring. They have been a food staple as long as our history reads. Numbers are getting lower each year. A limited fishery was allowed this year, mostly as a salute to tradition. The commercial fishery is dead. These shots for the 1982 Festival salute the old timers who long depended on the fish, and the younger generation who just celebrated and enjoyed it.

Thanks for you time. Comment if you will. Ric Carter http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/ricc/
