Redneck Salmon.

Each year, Jamesville, NC (on the Roanoke River) celebrates Herring  
Festival. 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.

Not all the reverie was that of old folk contemplating the past and  
thanking nature for the bounty:

I didn't want to go either/or this week.

Thanks for you time.

Comment if you will.
