Non-native: the USGS Nonindigenous Aquatic Species database lists the species as introduced to the Shenandoah watershed.

Data: GBIF.org occurrence records, CC0 and CC BY only (iNaturalist research-grade observations, GBIF dataset). Common names: USGS NAS. Non-native flags: USGS NAS. These are sightings and specimens people reported, not a survey: a fish missing from the list may still live here.
