they are but to many weeds for it to run . It actually jumped out of my kayak before I could get more pics . They breathe air so holding them out of the water doesn't tire them at all .

Let's see a better pick of that fly. Is it a popper of some sort?

Very cool - job well done sir!

 

[J55tyger88]

Very cool, congrats!

 

[bjb27_99]

Wow! Very nice and I give you extra credit for bringing it into the kayak!

 

[geebee]

cool. as I reported a few weeks back there was one hanging around the dam on the brandywine.

the DE DFW did ask me to kill any, so I guess opinion is split.

I did see it come up for air several times. I thought it was sipping midges but I saw a bubble or two and realized it was an air breather.

cool catch. the Aussies say they are a steaky good tasting fish.

Yeah its only a matter for time for Brandywine . If the word got out that they were in the Brandywine I imagine that the float trip business's would take a big loss in revenue .

Did you eat it or throw it on the bank?

 

[sarce]

Awesome, Fredrick!! I've targeted them a couple times here in the DC area, have been flat out skunked so far. Bow fishermen have put a huge dent in the population.
