Anglers debate Potomac fish traps and catfish impact
A Maryland fishing column defends the Maryland Game and Inland Fish Commission amid angler complaints about fish traps on the Potomac River. It notes traps cover only about 3 miles of the 165-mile river and were placed to control overabundant catfish and sunfish, with fish moved to community ponds. The piece cites anglers contending traps ruin fishing while authorities argue traps help overall, and includes reports of large catfish and crappie catches from Tridelphia Lake and Fox's Bait Store contests.
