I'm back from another fishing trip
This time at a place in Kolar district.Made two trips to this lake and tried a water hole close by.Had two bites at the lake on my first trip and none on the second.Guess the place has been netted too often.On the whole the trip though fruitless, was fun.
Posting some pics...

PS:the photos were taken on a mobile phone.

The snake in the second pic looks like a Checkered keelback.

Very tragic. checkered keelbacks are non venomous and get stomped on sight.The locals need a King Cobra sighting to teach them to respect snakes.

Feel the same.

There are cobras here and people are more ruthless with them.Don't blame them- the nearest hospital's 20 km away.
btw, are king cobras found in South India?
