intersex fish in the potomac river?

i am a huge fan of stephen colbert...part of the colbert nation, if you will. i was completely disgusted with the so-called environmental protection agency (again) after watching the interview with new york times columnist nicholas kristof. apparently usgs scientists found prolific occurances of intersex bass, 82% of small mouth and 23% of large mouth, in the shenandoah and potomac rivers. that is repulsive. does the epa actually do anything? does anybody else think this is unacceptable? i think i will continue to catch-and-release.

small mouth bass bonanza!

the angry fisherman is pissed again: no fishing this week! john took both boys out to catch something for mother's day dinner. they caught about 30 fish, mostly small mouth, a few large mouth and one rock. john says they will continue to fish the creeks entering the potomac until the water clears and is about 4'-6"deep: the main river was running about 6' this weekend near the pump station. if you ever need information about the river, including quality, temperature and depths, check the united states geological survey's water data interface.
