{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Chasing Snakeheads

When fishing for snakeheads, is it necessary to use a steel leader or something similar to what you'd need for pike fishing?  I'd hate to hook into one and immediately have it slice through my line.

Thanks for the help!

The biggest snakehead i caught was in front of the parking lot at Riverside Park at little hunting creek.  I was there today and caught 5 and 6 pound bass but, the weeds have not grown in yet.  I don't see snakeheads there usually until the grass grows in.  That being said, the conditions at Kane Creek are ideal for snakeheads.  I saw several large ones there when kayaking there last weekend.  This is at Mason Neck State Park just off of route 1 in Lorton, VA.  About 20 minutes from Alexandria.  One could wade from the ranger station all the way around to the creek or rent a kayak.  The bottom is hard/firm sand and the weeds are just the right height to hold fish but not tangle your fly on every cast.  The top water bite was good too.  This is a really beautiful place to fish too.

Hope this helps.
