Default Re: Opinions on Snake Heads

The Potomac and Delaware rivers have had snakeheads and flatheads for a while now and both rivers are still great fisheries, I haven’t heard of any negative impact. Snakeheads and Flatheads would have a negative impact if they were introduced to smaller bodies of water though, so I think you should be able to catch and release in those 2 rivers but if you keep them you should have to kill them on the spot to prevent people from transporting live fish.
