Impressive trip Bogdan, Those snakehead are an impressive creature. The snakehead taking the smaller fish you had hooked says a lot about them.

[@FishBeyondBorders]

Indeed aggressive and armed with some seriously sharp teeth.

Hey Bogdan! Glad to see you’re out and making it happen🤙

[@FishBeyondBorders]

Hey David. Might be an interesting destination for the fly fisher. I couldn't say how readily these species take the fly, but the mass is certainly there to give it a real crack.

Amazing fishing mate! What a trip!

[@FishBeyondBorders]

The region is also great value compared to what we're used to in Aus
