Smallmouth bass are clearly being affected by something in the water in the Mid Atlantic region. The young bass population is decreasing in the Susquehanna River, their reproductive organs are half testicle, half ovary in the south branch of the Potomac and there are concerns about the possible effects on the Chesapeake Bay.
