Fly Fishing for Snakeheads and Bowfin success thread

[Fredrick]

Fish have been good to me lately, this guy waked really hard on my fly so I stopped my fly and let it sit he grabbed the tail with his lips and held it in his mouth for five seconds before he finally sucked the rest in . Seemed like an eternity waiting to finally set the hook .

Serious question to those of you who fish for snakeheads, you're killing all these right? Or have these now become C&R FFO?

Man, you're out there living my dream! I've been fly fishing the Manayunk canal in Philly recently trying real hard to catch my first snakehead, but I can't seem to find them now. I've had them bite frogs on spinner gear but never hook up. Thought a popper on the fly rod might be the ticket but they must not like my presentation or something.

Congrats on the nice fish!

You're a much braver man than I.

I wouldn't touch those fookers with someone else's hands.

They are a great fish to catch on poppers and are here to stay so unless someone intends on eating them(very delicious) there is no point in killing them.
