Like mentioned by our member KF, lake Simcoe herring, took a major hit back 10+ years ago and were closed.I wont deniy that I took my fair share of them,great eat,n. Now they have rebounded in great numbers and thier size has also doubled (making one , without proper knowledge of difference between whities and herring, would think the herring was a whitie).You hit the lake in June, in the earlly AM,you will see them surfacing.Also if you are down rigg,n for lakers and whities,you will get more hits by herring then you will the other.I have had my screen full and they were herring. Not sure when they will open them again,but if they do,Im sure there will be a limit set.
If they do open them again,I,ll be taking my feed.Great under the broiler with salt/pepper and butterdill.
