You just never know what you may encounter in the wild. Several years ago I was fishing in Conoloway Creek on Nolin, using a T-rigged worm in shallow water. After a slow retrive I started bringing it back and got a real hard hit. I set the hook and when I did a snake came out of the water. It didn't have the spade head, or cresent eys but the body was red with black, almost sawtooth, bands. I had never seen one like it before and I didn't think it was poisenous but I cut the line anyhow and it swim away.

when I got home, I tried to find out what it was by doing a search on the computer. In the process of trying to indentify the snake, I had a flashback to Viet Nam, but that is a different story. Anyhow, I finally found out that it was a Susquehanna Water Snake, usually only found in Pennsylvania. Don't ask me how it got to Nolin, but the point is you never know what you may run accross. Somone probably brought it here and let it loose. who knows?

That is how I happened to know about the pamphlet.
