Cute animal but get rid of him if you want fish. They can really do some damage. NC released them back into streams a few years ago. The trout producers in western NC have had trouble ever since. I'm a nuisance trapper in GA so I can trap them year around. I actually get good money for the pelt as well. I would talk to NC DNR and see if there is a nusiance trapper that you could hire. Of course you could evict him in some other manner as well, 'nuff said.
