Otters wiped out my catfish ponds several years ago, so many times that I quit stocking. Not worth the hassle, to me. There is a big otter sanctuary of over 200 acres about 5 river miles downstream from me. My ponds are about 500 yards off the river, and only about 300 feet from a feeder creek. There is now a hog wire fence between the creek and my ponds, but don't know if that does any good. I haven't seen otter sign at my ponds since about 2021 or so.
