    Default Anyone have a pattern to match this?

    This may have already been posted here somewhere because I forget where I first saw it now.

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    Read the last several comments!(:<)! I hope someone else is not crazy enough to try to copy it! A deerhair head on a zonker strip is safer.

    Cool

    I can see an epedemic of stupidity coming down the pike, with every idiot in that area trying to catch and fish with live rattlers. I myself think the only good snake, is a dead one, but thats just me.

    This little fella was in my back yard earlier this year. He made a better mouser than the neighbors cats and probably would eat a young cat too. Before I get nasty email about me hating cats, I don't and the one that shares the house with us is kind enough to let me hang around the house as long as I keep feeding her.

    Note, the snake was put in a garbage can, the lid placed on it, the whole thing put in the front passenger seat then strapped in with a seatbelt and it was relocated. Something about the garbage can tipping over in the vehicle while driving did make the seat belt a very useful item for the snake. For some reason I couldn't get my wife to go with me for the ride for the relocation effort.

    I have a 10 wt outfit, but just didn't think that I could cast this one.

    In my case the wife didn't want him outside of the back door and he was either relocated or worse for the snake. On the rattler, I think I would have passed on that as well.

    You could tie Richard Komar's Hard-Hackle Worm on a 1/0 or 2/0 hook with really long brown-barred feathers, and black plastic bead eyes, and that would make a fair imitation.

    Plastic Lure companies have been making snake imitations for decades. This is nothing new. And when I lived in Tx. (born and raised there), lots of people fished with rattlesnakes, and water moccasins, especially in Lake Texoma, and Lake 'O The Pines. They are only dangerous if they bite you..... What do you expect from people who regard 'noodling' for 40+ pound catfish a 'sport'?

    Whats the big deal?
