I hate to see otters killed as they are incredibly cool animals, but there's probably no greater threat to a fishery, either. A guy just doesn't have a choice, really - doubt a live trap would work for something as smart as a river otter - and even if you did get one alive, where would one take it?

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
