Chris Lawrence opens the show fresh from emceeing the West Virginia Trout Festival in Franklin before welcoming two guests with major fishing and wildlife news. Wood County angler Ed Powell breaks down his seventh-place finish in the Bassmaster Open at Lake Norman — a 43-pound, three-day performance built on a precisely dialed-in dock skipping pattern targeting floating docks at creek mouths, combined with a late-tournament adjustment to a new bait he's keeping close to the vest.
DNR wildlife disease specialist Ethan Barton then delivers a comprehensive update on chronic wasting disease in West Virginia, covering the ongoing high prevalence in Hampshire County — where more deer are now dying from CWD than from hunters — and the first-ever CWD detection west of the Alleghenies following a positive finding in a captive deer operation in Marion County. Lawrence also covers new DNR regulations lifting horsepower restrictions on five state lake impoundments and the approved expansion of youth deer hunting to include bucks on designated youth hunting days.
