Well said David. It's far more trouble to chase snakes than to clean up the pond area.
It's also a lot easier to ignore snakes than to worry about them all the time. I think worriers get snake bitten just as much as non-worriers. (once every 97.5 years or so) So why worry?
Down here in my area, if you're afraid of snakes it takes all the enjoyment out of fishing. In fact, when go to a new pond or lake, I see snakes as a sign of good fishing to come.
