Here are a few 2021 highlights:Both the Potomac River and the upper Chesapeake Bay bass fisheries had good levels of reproduction and abundance. In the nontidal upper Potomac River, smallmouth bass populations continue to rebuild with the help of stocking efforts.
Anglers fished 62,212 hours across 246 tournaments, catching more than 17,000 bass, totaling 40,500 pounds!
Recreational bass anglers averaged 3.9 hours on the water and spent $46 per fishing trip. Of all bass fishing trips, 72 percent reported catching bass.
