Please Help keep Fishing the DMV alive! Support us Patreon!!!   / fishingthedmvpodcast   On this episode of Fishing the DMV, I welcome back Dean Naujoks of the Potomac Riverkeeper Network to provide a direct update on the 2026 Potomac River sewage spill following the sewer line collapse near Clara Barton Parkway back on January 19th. Dean joins the show to discuss the latest independent water quality testing, elevated E. coli contamination levels, and ongoing concerns surrounding public health, fecal bacteria exposure, and long-term environmental impact. We break down what has been reported about the hundreds of millions of gallons of raw, untreated sewage entering the Potomac River and C&O canal system, the debate surrounding EPA safety limits, downstream testing near major recreation areas, and how agencies like DC Water and the Maryland Department of the Environment are responding. What does the latest water quality data show? Is the Potomac River safe for bass fishing, boating, kayaking, and recreation? How are shellfish closures, fish health, tourism, and small businesses across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington D.C. being impacted? This episode dives deep into the science, infrastructure failure, monitoring updates, and what this means for the future of Potomac River bass fishing and Mid-Atlantic water quality.
