I was at the lake last Thursday and saw a 4 foot water moccasin swim under my dock. There were some construction workers at my next door neighbors house and they said they had seen 3 or 4 water moccasins swimming around in the last few days. I usually have several youngsters playing and swimming around my dock and I don't plan to try and sort out the good snakes from the bad. I am in the Blue Creek part of the lake and it appears that this time of the year snakes are going to be pretty much all around the lake. I do think that snakes are going to be more prevalent in the shallow waters in the sloughs than out in the deeper part of the lake.
