Diamond vally lake Snake encounters .... #1 Three foot Mojave Green trying to crawl into my backpack two minutes after putting it down on the groung and making a few casts .... #2 6-8 foot Red diamond back Rattlesnake coiled up under a small dropoff on one of the main foot trails going into @ cove .... #3 Western Pacific scooting along in the opposite direction as I while working the shoreline at 3 cove east point >>> it stopped and hissed obscenities at me then continued on its' way #4 3-4 foot western diamond coiled up under the recently exposed waterline 3 feet from the water.... That was especialy scary because of not expecting one to be in such a location #5 .... And the kicker was an 18 inch western diamond when coiled could fit in your palm, coiled up next to another anglers backpack! After seeing the baby western diamondback lick that guys backpack then flip me the bird... THE VOICE TOLD ME TO GET A SKIFF AND GET OFF THE ROCKS IMMEDIATELY
Although I've caught 100s of nice BASS from my skiff all my 7- ? # ers are shoreline PIGS especialy if you get to it before Bass Pro blows the lake out with his BIG...LOUD....HEAVY....NOISY...BITE KILLER! Anyway... thats a different story...so the million dollar question is .... without the noise are you going to risk your life for that sure to come PB LMB?!!
