On this episode of Fishing the DMV, I welcome back Dean Naujoks of the Potomac Riverkeeper Network for a direct update on the 2026 Potomac River sewage spill following the January 19 sewer line collapse near Clara Barton Parkway. We discuss independent water quality testing, elevated E. coli levels, public health concerns, and the long-term environmental impact of hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage entering the Potomac River and C&O Canal.
We break down the debate over EPA safety limits, downstream testing at major recreation areas, and how DC Water and the Maryland Department of the Environment are responding. Is the Potomac safe for bass fishing, boating, kayaking, and recreation? What does this mean for shellfish closures, fish health, tourism, and local businesses across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.?
