If you fish you are going to encounter snakes. Here in North Carolina it is normally copperheads, the occasional rattler, cottonmouths, and
any number of non-poisonous ones.
I just give them a wide berth. I'm careful as to where I step as most bites occur when you most likely step on them. Be very careful hiking trails and the brush. They can be very difficult to see as their camouflage is extraordinary!
Just read an article in Wildlife in North Carolina about just that thing. Be hopeful your insurance will cover the cost of a venomous
snake bite as the treatments can run as high as $40,000.00.......ouch!!!
Never experienced a cougar or mountain lion and can say that's fine and dandy with me!
Why do you ask?

When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.
