Small deliveries of local herring have been landed frequently during the fall and early winter. One boat made a 130-ton catch from a set in Surf Inlet, near Butedale this week. On Friday, two vessels made sets in Ogden Channel, near Captain's Cove, but no reports on their success have been received. Up to Friday afternoon no herring had been reported in other northern areas. This year's spawning run, if it continues, will have started about four days earlier than did last year's. Seiner and packer crews are hoping that current cold weather will abate so that the fishing can be done without the handicap of frozen nets and sub-freezing temperatures. Cold weather has hampered1 seining on the south coast, but not so much that this year's catch has not been greater than that of a year ago.
