Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Snake head

As far as I can tell, they tend to wake up and hang out in the shallows around Chain Bridge about the same time the Shad run. However, I've never heard of them being caught then - only seen (or skewered with a pitchfork). After that, I think they disperse and begin feeding. I think you're best bet is to start targeting them ones the Shad run begins to taper off. But you should definitely make a trip to the VA side of Chain Bridge during the Shad run to see them coming up for air along the shoreline.

Hello all,

To start, I have been trying to catch a snake-head for the better half of a year, with not one to show.  Therefore, with the spring months approaching, I plan to strengthen my search. 

On that note,

on the interactive map there is a location called "snake-head pond"

can anyone backup this location?
is it really the end of Mattowomen creek, and does it truly hold an abundance of snake-head?

Second question

When is the earliest they can be caught.  I'm sure many of you know, they burrow in mud for the duration of the winter months.  But I cant find a definitive answer on when they begin feeding?

And finally, where are you favorite locations to target these spices?

Thank you all very much
