Found this one sitting dead cedar tree about 5 feet above the water while out fishing today, northern water snake? I'm fishing at Truman lake in Missouri this week. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/130922.jpg)

That's what we're thinking too, it was sitting at eye level when we noticed it 12 feet from the boat while bass fishing in the back of a cove. It was hard to get a good look at the head from that angle, southeastern Missouri also has water moccasins too. https://nature.mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/field-guide/northern-cottonmouth![[Linked Image from nature.mdc.mo.gov]](https://nature.mdc.mo.gov/sites/default/files/media/field-guide/northern-cottonmouth-dist-map_2019_2.png)

Squidge, Judging from the taper of the tail, and the overall “stockiness” of the snake.....it appears that it can be a water moccasin that has shed recently or living in nice clean water! memtb
