{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: First Snakehead

I doubt that it is radio active.  I have eaten a striper out of this area last fall and it was fine.

I was fishing down there this morning.  It was too cool for the snakehead to be active, not enough current to get the stripers moving, and the water was very high 2 hours after the high tide.  I did manage to catch 1 24" catfish down there.  It was pretty windy too and my kayak was blowing around a lot.

How did you get down to the area by the rocks without a kayak or boat?

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.
