Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Channa argus

Anyone know the furthest up the Rappahannock a snakehead has been caught? That river is infested with them in Fredericksburg.

Snakeheads are not going away in Virginia. DGIF is tracking its progress and distribution with the help of people who catch them providing catch reports.

One DGIF Biologist told me for Virginia the Snakeheads haven't turned out to be as destructive as first feared. The fish population seems to have found its own equilibrium with them in the mix.

Virginia DGIF has acknowledged their presence by including them in the recently published "Fresh Water Fishes of Virginia".

I think it's just inevitable that Northern Snakeheads are not going away.  If they've found them above the dam there's more that they haven't found.  The Susquehanna is a huge and long river that reaches all the way up into NY state.  imagine if snakeheads got all the way up there.  I'd worry more if it was Asian carp than snakes.  There are so many snakeheads around the dmv and i don't see the massive impact on fish species that was once claimed.  Also, they are all around the Delaware watershed.  At least the lower part of the river.  I don't know how far up they go into that river.  But imagine if you were fishing the west branch and you catch a snakehead.  Crazy.
