Bass season opens Potomac anglers face rough water
Wardens and fish technicians launched the bass season on the Potomac from Cumberland to Great Falls amid wind and choppy seas. They sampled bass scales to gauge age and spawning status, finding most bass not yet spawned and noting several larger fish among the catches. Surveys will continue through July and August with data to guide future bass policies.
