Virginia spans three fishing regulatory worlds. The tidal Chesapeake and Atlantic coast are managed by the Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC); non-tidal inland waters are managed by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR — formerly known as VDGIF / DGIF). The tidal Potomac main stem follows its own rules under the Potomac River Fisheries Commission. Virginia's coastal waters hold Spanish mackerel, cobia, sheepshead, and spadefish seasonally in addition to the standard tidal Bay species.
