Copperhead!! Surprise exploring a small clear stream...

Finding a new stream to fish is about the most fun adventure there is.
What's it look like, what type and size of fish live there, how hard is it to walk it, what other wildlife will I come across. I almost stepped on a copperhead snake while walking the trail, It blended in so well i could have passed by without noticing.

Thats definitely a copperhead 😂

[@Steve-ev6vx]

Saw one of those last year picking up lighter knot. Thought it was a rat snake and bent down for a good look and jumped about 10 feet when I noticed the copperhead pattern.

[@bobgibbs4105]

Agreed, copperhead.

[@jeremiahkelley9474]

100% lol!!

[@robstone1489]

100% Copperhead. Great video. Cottonmouth looks similar with the Hershey kiss pattern but have more dots inside it. They are typically darker and no they don’t chase people. They’re actually very timid.

[@user-zq8wb6kn5p]

That was definitely a copperhead!

[@graystone3048]

That’s a copperhead my friend. Careful!

[@byhisgracefishing]

Proud supporter of the 2A! 👍

[@tedsalmon2533]

That indeed was a copperhead. Beautiful little animals but you don't want to step on one! You did the responsible thing in moving him off the trail.

[@dougscamo2032]

Copperhead! Glad to see you carrying a pistol; not all snakes crawl on their bellies!

[@dartmart9263]

Definitely a copperhead. Two or three years old. What a gorgeous stream!

[@anthonybieryla6635]

Some of those rock/stone structures show evidence of being polygonal masonry which means it's waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy older than what we are told. Awesome place to explore. Thanks for another video

[@billwilburn1685]

Holy crap. Was only halfway through when I sent the 1st comment. Keeps getting better. OUTSTANDING

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Fantastic place

[@johnwhite993]

I miss hiking like that and enjoying Gods beautiful creation. Just can beat seeing nature like it was meant to be

[@joespafford6499]

That's a beautiful butterfly. And I know the feeling about being exhausted and whether or not you'll have enough energy the fish, I put in 4 1/2 me this past Sunday to get to a spot on the river that I've been wanting to fish for a little while. Mission accomplished and I got into the smallies

[@carlbeel8390]

Great video , I grew up TN creek fishing so these are very nostalgic. Keep up the good work brother!

[@waterratlyle2590]

Beautiful place for sure.

[@susanprice3454]

Thanks John. I enjoyed that hike and watching you catch a few nick creek fish.

[@codyreece7871]

It was definitely a copperhead glad you seen it

[@Genegenedtb]

great time for me, thanks. I used to do a lot of stream fishing "back in the day" but not much anymore. I didn't realize how much I missed it til now. Reading the stream, trying different things, walking to the next spot, just a good pull to get out in nature. enjoy it..

[@bulldog7196]

Beautiful copperhead. And yes, 100% sure it's a copperhead. The markings on its body give it away regardless of how copper colored the head is or not.

[@TimHaunFishing]

Man I love those Owner jig heads. I use them for Hellgrammites, shaky head worms, paddle tail swimbaits and even smaller craw and creature baits sometimes. Good job getting that snake out of the path before he or someone else got hurt. I am no herpetologist but I do believe he was indeed a copperhead.

[@Yellowhammer_Kayak_Anglers]

Agree with both points. I am also hooked on Owner Ultraheads and Blockheads (and, of course, Yum hellgrammites). Also that is 100% a copperhead.

[@mannywest5235]

My good sir, I have always enjoyed fishing tiny streams like you were in this video. I always have incredible results when I use tiny jigging grubs or 3/4 inch insect creature baits.

[@brianathern9154]

Great video and choice of location. The fish you did catch would be enough for me. I love hiking in Appalachia. Blessings brother John

[@TheFishingNomad]

You're living the dream man. Exploring around nature and fishing creeks for a living. What more could you want from a job?

[@jerryplesko9521]

Looks like a ancient place to be pretty neat 🙏

[@scottfrey2710]

Man, John...after that close call with the snake, I would have been too timid to keep hiking down the creek beds, knowing the next one may only be another step away!! But kudos to you for bravery, and double kudos for the awesome scenery you let us enjoy with you!! :-)

[@williamandrews4251]

I really like the rocks in that stream.Beautiful.

[@paulplatt5074]

That was Amazing. God made that. No man can ever make something like this. God Bless.

[@MiguelRodriguez-zi4sl]

Hello Brother 🤠, went out this morning with my ultralight setup ( economy magyver deal😅). Caught 2 blue Gill, 2 shiners, Smalley and 1 Rock Bass! Was awesome!! Thanks for everything 🙏

[@robinbittner2977]

I really did enjoy your Cumberland Plateau stream fishing. It was fun watching you have some fun.

[@davidwilliams1805]

Outstanding video! Thanks for sharing this adventure and taking us along. Good job out there! Beautiful place as well! Keep up the good work! And as always, #CreekFishingAdventures rocks!!!

[@garrymillwood5507]

Wat a beautiful area . Great video and really nice Smallmouth.

[@williamandrews4251]

That Smallmouth was a beautiful shade of green.

[@tomfisher2103]

Copperhead, good job getting him off the path and into a wooded area, where everyone is safe.

[@Rockytop1]

Yes it is👍

[@mattthomen1608]

Thanks for sharing 👍, this was a good creek! 👍 such clear water to fish. Reminds me of my childhood favorite creek I used to tube float,and fish as a kid.

[@Reidh77]

Man I gotta say, even though you didn't catch a ton of fish, I enjoyed this video the most out of one I've seen from you in awhile. Not that your stuff isn't great, but the scenery in this one just had me glued to the screen. Felt like I was on a gorgeous hike but hey let's catch a few fish too! Awesome stuff man.

[@christophershelton1735]

Definitely a copperhead. Great vid.

[@lawrencecates8402]

Copperhead for sure. They are everywhere in Kentucky & Tennessee.

[@shannonsullivan2638]

Yep, on snake I'd. Note much on the fishing but the scenery is well worth the trip

[@raymundopelayo1]

Thank you for taking that adventure. Very inspiring to get out there and just enjoy teh scenery.

[@Buck112]

That's a copperhead for sure

[@armadillo1696]

Love the fishing but I think it is amazing that u posted Gods word on ur channel

[@johnharder5618]

Nice video As for the lack of bass in the upper stretches Sometimes a bad summer will kill off a huge amount of a creeks fish in areas due to low or hot water temps A few years back I helped with restocking of fish in a creek 10 - 15 feet wide With a lot of 2 to 6 foot deep pools , but a lot of a foot or less stretches We had a drought and several farmers were pumping water from the creek Lowering and letting the creek temps to raise , causing a fish die off above a dam We fished down stream of the dam and moved the fish 200 yards upstream

[@eh1918]

Here in Tennessee, especially East Tennessee where he is, creeks like this don't get nearly hot enough for fish to die from. These creeks are actually typically pretty cold because a lot of them run out of the mountains.

[@jeffnelson9420]

Snake boots 👍...they are waterproof also. Thanks for sharing and have a Blessed Day!!!

[@marthamitchell9452]

I have snake gaiters from living in rattlesnake territory. You could even wear shorts with them I guess but where I went you wouldn’t want bare legs at all.

[@timlacy2284]

John, It sure looked like a Copperhead to me, if it has a round pupil it's not .good eye keep a watch out . Great views and good looking fishing stream ,Thanks for taking me along. God Bless .Tim L.

[@3422dave]

The venomous snakes have cat pupils good call

[@marthamitchell9452]

That one had vertical pupils.

[@timlacy2284]

@@marthamitchell9452 I couldn't tell on my phone, the color was right for a copperhead.

[@marthamitchell9452]

@@timlacy2284 I have never seen a copperhead, I’m in the west, but I have dealt with plenty of rattlesnakes. At least they give you a warning, although my husband can’t hear them so I had to let him know if I heard one.

[@timlacy2284]

@@marthamitchell9452 Copperheads do not give any type of warning, I live in North West Tennessee, we have Copperheads ,Rattlesnakes , Cottonmouths /Watermockins are the ones that you have to watch for around here.

Definitely a copperhead, beautiful area there

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thanks Mark

[@AnnoyedJots]

Looks like every copperhead I've seen.

[@billwilburn1685]

Was watching i_fish and he mentioned you. After his video I decide to check you out, it’s been awhile. Great time to check in because I’m happy to see this gem. Beautiful area for sure.

Thanks for the beautiful Scenery All the best. And great fishing fishing🐟

Nice place. Like to see more of this creek.

Beautiful area up there !! Bro. John

Great video! That scenery was awesome. Snakes happen. We have to stay alert 🚨 when visiting their habitat

[@kennethreese4125]

Beautiful are lived down from Dunlop for short time,great creek and swimming hole comming down suck creek mountain.cold water and deep holes jumped off twenty foot ledge couldn't touch bottom

You always have the most encouraging content. I love fishing...but also enjoy our God's creation. I makes my old heart happy. Thank you sir

[@hawgbreath]

Beautiful stream and country. Enjoyed seeing the critters too, looks like a peaceful place to be. I love the rocky streams in Tennessee! Also, here in Florida you have to watch for gators in addition to the venomous snakes 😳

[@deionsharpe5139]

Hey buddy, sure got LUCKY, that DEFINITELY was a COPPER HEAD with a Diamond Head and severe golden color of a penny 💛 on his top of the head, could of been A REALLY BAD DAY, FAST 🤕🤕 have to keep your eyes 👀 👀 moving and scanning the area EVERY STEP, they ❤ LOVE that warmer weather pattern, BE SAFE CYA next time 🎣🎣🎣🎣 😎🌞👍

[@CountryKirby.]

Yep a copperhead got bit by one a month ago

[@TD402dd]

Just admit it, you like to fish there for the beautiful scenery. I'm going to Helen, Ga on the next good weather stretch, and the Chattahoochee River runs through it.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thats a beautiful place also

[@bustinfins]

I commented on the snake on your Facebook page, definitely a copperhead, but I loved the little creek! Since I’ve fished the small creek in my videos this month, I’m hooked, and absolutely love it!! I grew up fishing a larger sized creek that flows to the Tallapoosa river and it’s really the only place I fished until I started my KZbin channel last year. It’s fun learning new techniques and fishing different types of water.

[@johnwhite993]

Man I miss the mountains, go to the mountains and the temp would drop 10-15 degrees

[@kurtfredregill3324]

great scenery be nice to go there

[@ronaldscott5786]

The hershey kiss marking on the side makes it a copperhead

[@PaintedTurtle001]

Beautiful area.

Gorgeous creek! Glad we don’t have to deal with any snakes up here in Canada. 🫣

[@dennistidwell7188]

Reminds me of a mill dam in NW Alabama I fish occasionally. Great camera work, thanks for the trip....

[@ericharrison8950]

God bless! The picture for the video is awesome!

[@mikeboyce584]

Whether or not you catch fish, John, you still make it Enjoyable to watch Your videos. Good EYE seeing that snake. That is some very pretty area. Wouldn't mind Seeing it in person. Looks like there's a lot of history there.

[@williamandrews4251]

I really like Fenwick rods superior tackle.

[@dalemcswain6890]

When I hiked that area during the drought that creek was almost completely dry.

[@maryannegreenslade78]

Glad you didn't step on that copperhead!

[@rayhollingsworth2588]

Definitely a copperhead 100%

[@kitdockery4291]

Love the channel buddy! I do a lot of creek fishing down here in NW GA. Ton of fun!

[@kennethlantz1390]

Yes 💯 copperhead.

[@thewilldernesschannel]

Hey the way you can tell is the patter on its back if it’s a Hershey kisses pattern it’s a copper head if not probably a water snake.

[@lefrazier4304]

a pretty place

[@davidclark2046]

You should go to Cumberland Mountain State Park in Crossville, tn..it's on the Cumberland Plateau..it has some nice bass and you can use your own kayak or rent a John boat with a trolling motor

[@3422dave]

Love that place lived in Sparta for awhile

[@headlessproductions8908]

indeed a copperhead!!

[@randyteta9170]

If you pick it up by the tail and swing it around it makes a whistling sound like a party favor

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee that place looks amazing 👏 😍 I was surprised to see that many people!!!! Another epic video buddy

[@stripprclipR1]

Copperhead snek! Smaller may have a yellow tail, and larger generally get darker like fall leaves. Venomous, but more painful than deadly aside from the risk of anaphylaxis. Lots of them here in Kentucky. Timid and non-aggressive, but any wild snek will bite if handled. Treat it like a loaded gun.

[@steveburlingame1935]

Thats a copperhead awesome snakes

[@claradasch4973]

You find such cool spots to go fishing

Just the other day my friend was walking around the Botanical Gardens at Clemson University and she didn’t the same thing - walked right up on a copperhead and last second jumped over it. It was close to 2’ long She got a long branch to help it get into the woods and away from other people

[@erikhinds-cy9cx]

Really nice video.

[@eddieevans9612]

Definitely a copper head, and if you’re where I think you are, I grew up in that area and they used to mine coke and there’s several coke ovens on the way in beside the road

You know man ,you know 🎣🤘

[@redeyegrey]

Definitely one hundred percent a copperhead

[@williamandrews4251]

Jon,that is Copperhead the ones l have encountered are are not aggressive.In fact one day my brother and l were walking and he stepped on one an it just crawled away.I have also seen them on golf courses sunning and the basically want to be left alone.Cool snake you spotted.

[@garyshinn4626]

Yes that was a copperhead. That might have been a mill pond at one time, saw mill , corn grinding mill. The pond might have been filled in or maybe the dam was higher at one time.
