{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: SNP - Wildlife and safety

I sing aloud to myself when walking around blind corners, but as others mentioned, the bears are mellow and used to the presence of people. I have yet to see a rattlesnake, but I have had the misfortune of snakes dropping from branches and logs past my face (which is about as terrifying as it sounds). To avoid this, I now double check for sunning snakes before walking under downed trees.

Hello, 

I just went out to SNP for the first time today and claimed the dignity of over 20 brookies on the fiberglass 3wt.  What a blast!!  However, I have seen some stuff on the boards about snakes and other somewhat nefarious creatures out that way. I realized later, being so immersed in fishing a bear could have smacked me upside the head and I don't think I would have noticed. 

 I was curious what precautionary items you folks that fish out that way may take along or recommend taking.  

I appreciate the advice in advance and if you want to head out that way let me know!!!!
