Togiak Herring Update 2

This is the Alaska Department of Fish & Game in Dillingham with an update regarding the
Togiak herring fishery.

Department staff flew the first aerial survey of the Togiak District of 2013 on April 28. Weather
conditions were excellent with sunny skies and clear water. The district was ice free, but the  rivers and ponds remain frozen and the uplands snow covered. We did observe many seabirds  and many grey whales but no sea lions. Weather permitting, we will survey the district on  Wednesday, May 1.

Informational updates are available by calling our recorded message line at (907) 842-5226.
