{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Occoquan Water Quality: Re: First Snakehead

TPFR,
does anyone know what those big Silo looking structures are past the Occoquan footbridge?  How bad is it to eat the Snakehead from here?  It looked like there were discharge pipes under the Silo structures in the concrete wall.  I saw a previous discussion that mentioned the DANGER signs for unexpected discharge.  I want to know if the water is clean or if I'm going to be eating radioactive Snakehead.  Any info on this area would be great.

I caught my first Snakehead at Occoquan today with a white and Chartreuse Clouser.  I was sight fishing to her and she went at the fly enough for me to set a great hook in it's mouth.   She was pregnant with huge egg sacks but had a completely empty stomach.   I found many small red parasite worms in her, some were even in the egg sacks.  I didn't find any worms in the meat, so it should be fine to eat when cooked through.

Also a Chain Bridge Striper from Saturday morning.
