Yes indeed! Buddy of mine got a Snakehead north of Rt 80 last year! They are in, but not in huge numbers in the northern area!

Snakehead sightings should be reported to F&G.

Nice fish, glad you got 'em, I've never even seen one.

I had planned to report it, but on my walk out I saw signs saying snakeheads had been reported there. I'll head back tomorrow to see if I can get one to bite.
