Fishing was poor, no bites in three and a half hours. Sometimes though, it is about the catching, not the fishing. This otter was caught on camera! He was swimming right towards me and at first I thought it was a muskrat. When I realized it was an otter, I ran to the truck for the camera. Traveling to and from the fishing spot we spotted a coyote, bighorn sheep, deer and turkeys. Nature is wo wonderful, get out and enjoy it!

Awesome pictures! Pic #2 looks like he ate a bad tasting fish.

I was doing the same just below the 25 bridge and the only wildlife i saw were three other fishermen that had consumed
at least 5 six packs of breakfast of champions - between the campfire, cigars and cigarettes blowing - i was downwind as
that was the only room left - i left after about 2 1/2 hours. as well as powerbait i did try shrimp with a shot of anise, but no
luck there either. I did see an old Ukrainian using marshmallows and worms and he got three early and left early too.

Looks like the Otter was having some crawfish for lunch!

Nice post sorry about the luck.. I think all the rain we got really clouded up the water and changed the bite.. I see a otter sometimes in at Hawk Creek, they are awesome to watch.
