Strip Bass are also called Rock Fish. Not sure on White Fish. White Perch? Not Flounder in the River that I know of.

Every where but Maryland. LOL When I moved here I didn't realize that until I saw pictures of them.
Fish and Game calls them Rock Fish mainly, sometimes Striped Bass.

Potomac river and its tributarys have been turned into a literal sewer. In my lifetime I have first hand witnessed the destruction. It's heart breaking

Caught flounder near mouth of Potomac but that was over 30bywars ago so God only knows if they still around there. Like I say in the course of my lifetime I have seen the Potomac, Piscataway, Mattowomen, Pomonkey creek turn3d I to literal sh!t holes. Still some fish but nothing like what they used to be. First class fishing and in the winter excellent Waterfowl hunting. Now they are things of the past. Once was clear water filled with SAVs.

SAV is on the rebound but the numbers of fish are nowhere near what it used to be like. I think the blue cats are doing far more damage than snakeheads or other invasive species. Used to be able to spend all day in Mattawoman Creek and have a consistent bite. Gotta search for em now. Some days the Matty will skunk ya.

It's definitely a sewer. I wouldn't eat anything out of there. Someone that worked in DC said, hey, if you don't mind fishing between floating refrigerators and dead hookers it's a great place to fish, lol. there are flounder at the mouth of the river and other oddballs during the summer.

I think I heard SAvs were on the rebound in the Severn River ? However Creeks like Piscataway south to Mattowomen from what I can see are trashed. However the Martty not as trashed as the others. Thing is when I was growing up the actual river from WW bridge south to the 301 Bridge held grass, Bass, and Waterfowl. I used to live on the river just north of Broad creek and there were thousands of Ducks and Geese. The fishing was wonderful. South down around Nanjamoy and Mallows bay was thick with grass beds as well. All gone now. Trashed. What I find really baffling is most of that "grass" was invasive hydrilla. Hydrilla they said was impossible to kill, that it was a huge environmental problem, there was no way to get rid of it. So if it is that tough to kill what the heck happened that it all disappeared? I think development did it. But idk. It
sucks though. This used ti be a wonderful place to live for a fisherman and Waterfowl hunter.
