To all who posted....a big thank you, for your input. I'll ease up to the farm tomorrow and survey the situation. It looks like I'll try the Conibear traps if I have no result with the leg hold traps. I really don't have a desire to kill the otter, but I have no problem doing it...I don't see much of a choice as I don't think he'll ever walk into a HavaHart type (live) trap. I've been nurturing these fish along for the last 1 1/2 years. It's hard for me to sit back and watch them destroyed. Thanks again, for everyone's experience...I'll keep you'll posted...
