Grays Run Snakehead

Type: Nontidal
Region: Central
Location: Grays Run

I caught this 12 in. northern snakehead in Grays Run today using bull minnows . I saw others jumping. I did not know they were in Grays Run.

Question: Have others been reported?

DNR Response: Yes, Northern Snakeheads have spread throughout most of the upper bay tidal watershed, including Gray�s Run. We�re still early in their colonization so they are likely to continue expanding their range and increasing in number. Thanks for reporting and harvesting! Actions such as yours help to minimize negative impacts owed to the new predator.
