The annual herring spawn is wrapping up this year and it appears “pretty encouraging” on the west coast of Vancouver Island and in the Strait of Georgia.
This year’s total catch for herring for the entire coast has been set at 9,251 tonnes, up somewhat from the previous year. “But the focus has really been on the area between the outside of Denman and Hornby islands and then the Vancouver Island shore from Deep Bay down to Nanoose has been quite active this year.
