Abstract:

Shad, rock, and the occasional sturgeon may be the prized fish of the Roanoke, but herring is the, \"king fish,\" of Jamesville. Caught in seine nets stretched along the width of the river, herring catches, often exceeding 5,000 pounds or over 20,000 fish, are dragged upstream to the fishery, the only one of its kind on the eastern seaboard.
