Oh, and I forgot to mention that while I was fishing from the steep bank of the creek I noticed an odd sound that I couldn't place. Eventually I realized what it was when the Eastern Diamond Back that was no more than 4 feet down the bank kind of rolled slightly and crawled away. I guess it was in an awkward position so it had to expose it's belly slightly to get some traction. It was only between 3 and 4 feet long, but it sure was thick! I moved on down the bank and kept Flog Ear Dog close to me.
