My Otter Excuse


My trout fishing skills are legendary! Bad, that is. Is my inability to land the big one a result of not reading the river right, using the wrong flies and lures, and poor casting? Of course not (wink), I blame it all on the otters that seem to be living the easy life on the Wood River. This chap casually caught three yellow perch in about 15 minutes one morning this week. That is close to my total catch all last summer! But you know what, I am happy to share the piscine bounty of the Upper Wood with river otters. They are a treat to watch and a nice reminder that the ecosystem is in pretty good shape.
