On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, we dive into the 2025 fish sampling survey results for the entire Shenandoah River system with Jason Hallacher of the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources. From the North Fork’s slow but steady rebound to the explosive sunfish bite and the Main Stem’s improving smallmouth population, we cover it all.
Discover how stocking efforts, habitat changes, and natural spawning success are shaping the future of smallmouth bass, largemouth, walleye, musky, and panfish across the North Fork, South Fork, and Main Stem. Whether you're chasing numbers or trophy-class fish, the Shenandoah River has something for every angler in 2025.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
