The Snakehead Contest is being incorporated into an Inland Freshwater Survey on the Volunteer Angler Creel Survey webpage. For 2013 the end-of-year random drawing will include anglers reporting snakeheads to the Anglers Log as well as anglers participating in the Volunteer Angler Creel Surveys. We encourage anglers to continue to report snakehead catches. The information is helping our biologists better understand how this invasive species increases its range.

Great Fishing on The Loch

Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Loch Raven

I went fishing on 5/16/13 around 8:30 am. Conditions were excellent, the day started off as overcast/partly cloudy with a slight chance of thunder showers. The temperature was about 75 degrees and slightly windy, the water clarity was excellent and the fish were co-operating. When I left around 4:00 pm I was a happy camper I had boated 7 fish total, 6 Chain Pickerel and 1 Largemouth. The Largemouth was 12 inches and the pike ranged from 19-14 inches, all were released healthy and unharmed to enjoy for another day. I was using a 1/8 oz black rooster tail with great success. Tight lines Y'all!
