CarpQuest – S2E6 – Pueblo Reservoir Carp Fishing – Rattlesnake & Carp

Whilst setting up to fish a short afternoon session at Pueblo Reservoir with Chris, I was curious when “carp dog” Raven was suddenly obsessed with in a stick nearby. She was almost touching it with her nose – tail wagging happily!

I had walked past that “stick” a few minutes earlier, likely almost stepped on it with my bare feet in but a pair of crocs.

On closer investigation, to my horror, I realized “that’s no stick”, it was a rattlesnake !!!

I removed the serpent from our area. Thankfully Raven and I avoided being bitten. So darn close to total disaster. If Raven had not been on a short leash, I would not like to imagine the outcome of this encounter.

We did manage to bank 3 carp later in the session before a powerful storm moved into the area and literally almost blew us away!

I was so thankful that Raven did not get bitten. I will keep a better eye on where I step in future and the swim where I setup!

Tight-Lines,
John
