I'm starting to think otters did more damage to my pond than previously thought. I've done a lot of fishing this year and caught relatively few larger LMB. Recently I found and ~1lb'er floating with its tail chewed off. Meanwhile a few tunnels have collapsed along the bank and I think there's an active den on the farthest part of the shore from me. I got a few #220 body traps (reasonably priced) that I'm going to set out in buckets soon.

Probably should get a devastation permit (or whatever they call it) for otters from the state.
