{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Rename the Snakehead?

The younger snakeheads have a brilliant marking pattern of golds and copper hues with black and silver mixed in. I'm such a fan I'm working on having a juvenile snakehead's patterns on the side of my new boat. They do tend to get a bit blemished as they get older. TPFR Tucker mentioned at the Somemrset show that they are now in the Patuxent river.

I hope I'm not violating any terms of use here. IF so, just hit delete, Dan.

This item in the WaPo Kids Post caught my attention this morning: http://wapo.st/1egVD7B

Northern Snakehead is a perfectly acceptable common name for Channa argus in my book. I've yet to catch one, but when I do, I like the potential drama of bragging, "hey, man, I caught a freaking snakehead!" as opposed to "Potomac Pike" or some such nonsense. Plus Commissioner Robinson could stand to be fact-checked.

Any and all who agree with me, please go to www.charlescountymd.gov/snakehead-naming-contest and nominate "Snakehead" or "Norther Snakehead" or "Potomac Snakehead" instead. I'm going with Potomac Snakehead. ;-)
