Hot Fence

Hot electric fences present special problems, especially if you fish at night. Locate the electric fences with your flashlight then carefully crawl under them.

Many farmers along the Shenandoah River are wisely using electric fences to keep their cattle out of the river except at special locations. These can really ZAP you. My favorite way to cope with these is to remove my vest and other items and place that and the rod on the far side of the fence well out of the way and then crawl under the fence.
