I could go to the aquarium in nooga and watch river otters all day long.Fishing a stream in the Smokies when this guy was enjoying this Rainbow and rubbing it in, guess he watched fishing!
Whenever I went trout fishing below smith lake, see an otter might as well head home. Trout went on defense and didn't care what you offered.They are very entertaining to watch for sure. But WAY better fishermen than we are. I love watching them however when I do see them I don't expect to catch many fish. If I do it's gonna be a few and big. They'll try and run you off from their territory as well. Last time that happened to me I kept fishing and caught a 20.5" smallie in their pool.
