  • Best fishing show out there!!!

    Does a great job getting a ton of interesting gas on the show covering different bodies of water that you’ve never heard of !! I live in north of Houston, Texas but this show makes me want to move to the DMV area to try all those smallmouth rivers!! This is also one of the few shows that will routinely have fish biologist on and interesting conversation!

Upper Potomac River Biology Report Official Data Breakdown w/ MD Michael Kashiwagi
Q: Why the summertime sampling? Is it flow rate or water level that drives that choice?
Summer sampling takes advantage of lower flows in July and August, which provides access to shoreline habitats where young-of-year smallmouth stay in shallow water, making it easier to assess reproduction and juvenile abundance.
