Sodus Bay - Taking Herring Eggs

View of three men on a boat on Sodus Bay on Lake Ontario in Wayne County, squeezing eggs from what are identified as "herring." Herring, however, do not enter freshwater; these might instead be alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus). This image was created to record the fish control activities of the New York State Conservation Commission.
