Releasing Otters back into streams is the equivalent of protecting Comorants as endangered birds, it's a license to take $1000's out of the landowners pocket. I hope you have the legal right to protect your fish, and I hope Texans blow every last comorant out of the sky with their $12 permits. It was a better place before thousands of the "protected" birds started destroying ponds one by one.
Otters & comorants have plenty of Federally protected areas to enjoy themselves. If the Gov't wants to pay me for my lost fish, they will be welcome. .22 Mag. until that check arrives.
