Improved water quality in West Virginia has led to fewer restrictions on sport fish consumption across the state.
It is safer now, across West Virginia, for anglers and their families to eat what they catch – according to the 2026 Sport Fish Consumption Advisories.
Since low levels of chemicals like mercury, selenium, and dioxin can be found in fish living in specific bodies of water, the advisories are intended to help anglers make educated choices about eating fish that are caught here.
The 2026 advisories list significantly fewer restrictions thanks to better water quality, according to a press release.
This year there’s no local advisory for black bass at Sutton Lake and the advisory for smallmouth bass in the Shenandoah River now applies only to fish larger than 12 inches.
The annual advisories are put out by the West Virginia Department of Health along with the state Department of Environmental Protection and the Division of Natural Resources.
