askipper,

to answer your question, no it is not very rare for snook to be caught far back in rivers. in fact, snook are found far back in rivers and sometimes in lakes. they can survive in freshwater. i have caught them miles inland in vero beach and have heard of many being caught in lakes. many snook are caught at spillways which are very brackish.
