Have you ever seen a whole nest or raft of snakes out in the lake? Thousands of them wadded up altogether. A varitable swarming, silthering, commuity of asps. Can you just imagine falling off your skiis into that?
They ought to have some of those daredevil program contestants come here and ski thorough the Greers Ferry Snake Raft!!!! I heard of a guy who trolled right into the middle of one of them rafts with his trolling motor on his party barge....they took him to SAM HAILE'S SERVICE STATION to put patches on all the bite holes so he wouldn't dehydrate. Before he even healed up, he went to RED RIVER MARINE, bought 4, 10 hp outboards, mounted them across the back of his party barge, took a file and sharpened the blades of the props, and took off looking for those snakes...
He aimed to run through them many times and cut 'em to smitherines. He hasn't been seen since, but every now and then someone sees a party barge at night, slowly cruising across Greers Ferry Lake, it's depth/fish/snake finder eerily glowing in the dark.... YECH...
