Did not get to fish today as the Lake store was closed so I could not get my city license. I have State and Ft. Sill but not the area cities license. So, I just drove around the full lake area reconning possible fishing sites. 23 miles of shoreline should offer some good bank fishing somewhere.
Ran into some ladies walking in one of the areas I was looking at and I think they were at first wary, but I broke the ice after walking through an area they had just went through and called to them asking if they had noticed the snakes on the rocks they had just passed through. They said no and came back to the spot to see. I had seen 6 when I first got there and 4 went into the rocks while 2 two stayed out on the rocks for heat. Only one of the ladies spoke English as I found out the other three had just come in days ago from the Netherlands to visit their sister (aunt for the younger one).
When they saw the snakes they took pictures and thanked me as they were getting ready to walk on more rocks. They left more cautious and aware. One of the snakes is pictured below.
