I was just about to put my foot down when I saw this nice fat water snake relaxing on the bank. As far as I could tell he was digesting a big meal or was full of eggs. Either way, it was about as fat as a plastic water bottle.
It’s a sign that spring is in full swing and it’s great to see a good diversity of water-life after last fall’s hurricanes. The hatches are great this year and the fall’s high water doesn’t seem to have affected them. Get out there and don’t forget the camera and a flashlight if you’re fishing late! (Be sure to check your batteries – everyone’s got a story there!)
