A dove bucket is the best thing going. You can carry tackle, drinks, a place to sit, and you can swivel around real quick if you here something sneaking up behind you.

You are most welcome...i consider snake medicine, at a minimum, a .22 magnum with rat shot in the first three cylinders and hollow points in the other three (and a couple extra cylinder reloads, in case things get tough.). If anyone is opposed to toting a pistol, a good strong beaver chewed stick, is the second best option...IMO

FYI, Thursday, I hit the creek bank to check out some favorite holes...ran across a couple snakes out on the bank...so just be careful out there...

Travel light when fishing the creeks. I carry one of sons old backpacks. I keep a stringer, needle nose pliers, a small folding landing net, small tackle box, pocket knife, 30ft rope. I seldom sit still at one spot so I only carry one rod and nothing to sit on. Some of the most important equipment is a pair of polarized sun glasses so you can read the creek. I wear cleats at Rowlett creek (very step banks) and tennis shoes are boats on the Lewisville creeks (banks not very steep). Extra gear really starts to wear on you if you do alot of walking. I try to carry as little as possible.
