OK... went out to the local creek for about and hour to practice my new long rod. Keep in mind this is only my second time out. I walk out on some rocks below the dam and I'm standing there casting like I know what I'm doing... I'm wearing sandals... suddenly I feel something on my left foot. I look down and a 2 foot snake is crawling over the top of my foot... man... I'm glad no one was around cuz I squealed like a little school girl... after I regained my composure I continued to fish away... Paid off. Caught my first fish on the fly rod... a nice hand sized bream (using a Sneaky Pete). Thanks Mikey (Ohiotuber) I was thrilled.... I will be getting some wading boots before my next trip!!!
