I can't watch the video at this moment but I have been fishing the upper potomac a bit this fall between Little Orleans and Hancock. Maybe I just had bad fishing conditions, but I didn't find a whole lot of smallmouths, and I didn't notice much food for them either. If you go to a river like the Monocacy you notice crayfish, darters, and minnows everywhere. I just don't see much of that on the upper potomac. A friend and I floated for muskies and the water was clear enough to see 8-9 ft down in the deep areas. There just weren't that many fish for what I would have expected given the physical habitat available. Just upriver from Hancock there was a rapid increase in the numbers of fish though (suckers, catfish, and bass).
-- I don't know that this is a result of pollution, but several times now I have left the upper river thinking that something seems off.

I ran across this videoWhich makes the situation in the upper Potomac look dire.I'm wondering if some of the people who float the river up there could let us know if the river that unhealthy up there? While I am all in favor of getting the river cleaned up is the effect of this discharge really noticeable more than a couple hundred yards downstream?Carl--Carl Zmola
