John,I probably shouldn't say this on here but if it was my pond,I think one way or another the otters would run out of luck.
Bob,
I am going to just let it be. If I don't have otters, then I will probably get cormorants. If I lose all the fish, then I won't buy feed any more.
The Lonoke fish farms are having terrible problems with cormorants. I think they have nets over some of their ponds.
I talked to them about otters too. They said fences won't stop otters. They can dig and climb, and are persistent.
If it wasn't for all the protections and reintroductions of not so rare predators, we wouldn't have these pond problems.
