I travel to Reelfoot Lake 4 or 5 times a year and often have snakes swim around the area that I am fishing. I honestly can't tell a water moccasin from a water snake very easily. If the snake seems to interested in me I'll just move to a different location in the upper blue basin part of the lake or head off to the area between Samburg and the Spillway. I've never had trouble with snakes along that area along the houses. Thanks and I am sure others might as well benifit from you help.
