2019 Fly Fishing for snakeheads and Bowfin success thread

[Fredrick]

The bullseye will definitely test your fly tackle. My second Snakehead species on the fly . After numerous blowups ,fish getting off in the weeds and a big fish pull open my quick clip . I finally caught one . Definitely coming back again for more.

Not completely sure I have both mustad and rio but to take a guess I’d have to say this clip is mustad .

Caught two Northerns today one on a Schimidter bait fly and another one on a fly I just made up this morning fished weighted 6 3/4 lbs on the boga grip . Got both fish on video probably post the video in a few days .

Some PA bowfin from this spring. April was pretty good, then May was unusually inconsistent.....and so far that's been the case with June as well, but there was some good fishing. The high water and cold snaps over the past month or so certainly played a role.
