From the WLIC Annual Meeting Packet
Fisheries & Wildlife-Jim Miller"Two members saw snakes in the water that they thought could be a venomous species. The situation was researched both with a review of literature and discussions with experts. This issue was posed to 2 Mo Dept. of Conservation (MDC) experts who work out of the Discovery Center in downtown KC. They regularly do varmint control and trap beavers in a 5 county area around KC and in all the time they spent around lakes, rivers, wetlands and streams, they have never seen a venomous snake in the water in these areas. The conclusion is that the probability of a venomous snake being in the water here at WL is very low and the probability of being bit is considerably lower. If one sees a snake, do not pester it and take a picture."

Never seen a Snake in the Lake but have observed many lying Snakes in the grass
Mike was this a picture of a snake in our lake?
Not Mike here, but if you look under the pictures he uses, you will notice most of the time it says 'image via Wikipedia'.
Did our very poisonous and aggressive Snake in the grass slither away to another nest?
No, he owns a fish lot on Eastside.
