Some pics for ya. Thats the 5th otter i've found that has heart issues - their hearts just stop beating....crazy.

We had five otters pass away from the same ailment. Must be genetic!
We are going to hit 62 tomorrow and 67 on Monday. I’m thinking I’ll have open water when I get up to the pond next time.
Those trout look amazing.


12 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs)
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
Otter attack in 2023.
