Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Canal Fishing......for snakehead

Today on the Popville blog: 

http://www.popville.com/2015/08/snakeheads-spotted-in-the-canal-along-the-tow-path-in-georgetown/

"Dear PoPville,

Yesterday I took my first walk along the tow path in Georgetown since moving to DC 8 years ago. I'm not sure why I never visited it sooner, but I was impressed with how clean the water looked and was kind of surprised at all the aquatic life I saw enjoying a warm summer day. But then like a screeching record, I spotted this (see attached pics).

There it was … a snakehead just chilling out. I have heard they're incredibly invasive and can inflict significant damage in the waters where they live. I'm wondering what PoPville readers know about them. Is the canal infested with them? Can anything be done to get rid of them? Or are they just part of the ecosystem now and not anything to worry about?"


TPFR gets some press as well.
