The bay is used as one big shit hole, even by those who are supposed to be protecting it. Where is the EPA on this subject. How many fines have been issued to counties for improper sewage plants? This is not just an Irene isolated incident.
Now we have a season for Brown Trout everytime it rains .........

"Studies conducted by VIMS scientists from 1999-2001 showed that mycobacteria could be cultured from the spleens of 76% of striped bass recovered from the Chesapeake Bay (Potomac River to Virginia Beach). Seventy-six percent of these infected fish are positive for M. shottsii. M. shottsii is not only the most common species of mycobacteria in striped bass, but typically occurs at much higher densities than any other mycobacterium in co-infections. This means that anglers are more likely to be exposed to M. shottsii than other mycobacterial species. Whether M. shottsii poses a threat to human health is not yet known."
Pass the Old Bay and lemon butter!

the treatment plants are in bad shape but in MD the storm and sewer lines are seperate. the pumping stations either flood and shut down or the power cuts off in a storm and it flows over. DC Blue PLains is the only plant that takes storm and sewer into there plant. i may catch them at the point but i dont eat them from there. like blue crabs?
