Re: What is Happening in the Upper Chesapeake?
I live farther up the bay near the Susquehanna Flats. Fishing up here has been crappy this year due to the murky water. Run-off from the Susquehanna builds up behind the Conowingo dam, and when MD and PA get heavy rains like we have had, the dam goes into overflow mode and the flood gates are opened. This pushes out all sediment that that has collected behind the dam, killing the water clarity. My guess is that the runoff is affecting the fishing further down the bay as well.
