and let them loose in a Fishery and they will wipe it out, i know i have lost plenty and having to spend thousands to replace them its ok for the do gooders that let them loose just a shame they dont have to foot the bill for fisheries been wiped out all over the UK.

Some great shots there Donald. I could happily watch otters playing about for hours.

I've easily survived the last 20-odd years without eating fish, so they're welcome to my share!

Amazing shots, glad to have seen them.

It’s their planet too. Its funny that they don’t seem to respect when people stuff a lake full of their main diet.

no they dont respect a lake full of Carp or have any idea the price to replace a 30lb plus fish plus the fact the expence of having to put up a secure fence around a lake to keep the wretched things at bey they are just like a fox in a chicken killing for the sake of it and leaving carcasses strewn all of the place not alot of people see that first hand

Do you run a man made fishery?
