NOTES ON THE HERRING FISHERY OF 1901. 
By T. J. Wigg, 
Honorary Secretary Great Yarmouth Section. 
Read 25th February, 1902. 
In my Notes on the Herring Fishery of 1900, I mentioned the fact 
that the number of fish caught and brought into Yarmouth Harbour 
had never been exceeded. Such indeed was the fact ; but this year 
I have again to chronicle not only an increased catch (Yarmouth 
633 lasts, and Lowestoft 1509 lasts more than last year), but also 
a greater number of boats engaged, and many more persons 
employed in the various departments of the industry. 
The spring fishing of 1901 was rather unproductive, and but few 
good fish were caught until June and July, when the so-called 
midsummer fishing was in full swing. From the end of July to 
the middle of September the catches were of an average character. 
With the beginning of October, business commenced in earnest, 
and the Fish Wharf and that portion of the South Denes contiguous 
to it assumed a busy aspect.
