Casey,

Those are Giant Snakehead fry in the picture. Northern Snakehead fry -- what we have around here -- look like this: http://fl.biology.usgs.gov/Snakehead_circ_1251/Snakehead_1251_36a.jpg

I've tied a baby snakehead fly that's basically a clouser-zonker hybrid: I use yellow and brown chenille to created a mottled body, then tie down on top of that a barred yellow zonker strip. I top it with a few strands of herl from a turkey or pheasant feather. The one time I fished the fly seriously, I caught a nice smallmouth by the wrecked barge at Occoquan. I'll post a photo of the fly if anybody's interested.
