This morning about 10 am we were icefishing . I was jigging for trout and all of a sudden this huge bubble come up the hole and then I was face to face with an otter needless to say we never got another bit dam otters give me a start . Would like to see the otters gone rotten little devils . The lake is very small the lake is called east dollar lake in alberta Canada about 17 miles from Valleyview . Went back later and only caught one .

Hi Tammy,

Haven't seen you on the Forum for a while. Good to see you are still with us. How is everything going?

I know how you feel. We don't have otters in Australia. But we have pesky sea gulls. Those bloody toad fish too, when trying to catch leather jacket, them toad fish are a nightmare. And what about those sand crabs? Try catching bream on the beach and those rotten crabs just keep taking the bait !!

I am sure the otters are just trying to feed their family.

It is called fishing...not catching...It is all about the fishing

People would pay good money to see a wild otter. You have something special !!

I found a spot on the Murrumbidgee River that I have been fishing the past few weeks. Haven't caught anything yet. But gee what a spot. Beauty of the bush that you can only know if you are there. Each time I go there, it is nothing short of a perfect day fishing....But I know there is a Murray Cod lurking there for me ....If only the cockeys stopped ringing the alarm bell every time time I arrive !!
