Just found out the DNR put out new fish advisories for consumption of fish taken from some rivers off the Chesapeake bay. ###This is a little scary because it includes fish like white perch, yellow perch and even stripers at the mouth of the potomac. ###The main contaminants are PCBs and mercury. ###The advisories are the result of a combination of new standards from the EPA and testing in areas not previously tested. ###I know Blackwater fishes these waters, anybody else out there drown worms in the Chesapeake?
