Loads of lakes around Nene Valley (Northamptonshire) have been hit by otters. I'm 50/50 as an angler, otters are native, carp/catfish/signal crayfish etc are not. I've personally never seen an otter so do wonder if the population is as high as they say & I'm on lakes/rivers weekly. Everything evens itself out in nature, otters same as pike will never completely wipe out their own food source. Beavers were completely wiped out,now being reintroduced, should humans really control wildlife/nature or should it control itself? Humans take TONS of fish out the sea daily but we dont mention that.
@TheFishingBloggers2 ай бұрын
I don’t hate otters, I’m just saying they have been over reintroduced in nature, so there was no balance. Like you say, nature finds a way and it seems to have found an equilibrium now. There will always be issues on venues not fenced, it’s easy food for them so can’t fault the otter trying to find an easy meal. Loads of people complain about the over extraction of fish in the sea, but the reality is money talks… I’ve seen loads of otters, even multiple pairs working at the same time!
@NeneValleyFishing2 ай бұрын
@@TheFishingBloggers I used to have the opinion of most anglers when i saw a few big fish (30/40lb) on the banks of my regular venues, some I'd caught in the past. When they were reintroduced a few years back I don't think they thought it out enough either. We also had loads of mink escape from a local breeding site a few years ago, while the mink had the small ones the otters had the big ones. Some good fisheries here closed down due to otters & didn't reopen, fortunately alot put fencing up. A couple of my regulars had to put traps out and moved the otters outside the fencing. At the minute the cormorants are doing more damage around here though.

Otters are everywhere now which is causing big issues plus the mink that have established themselves, unfortunately our rivers and lakes can’t support them naturally due to cormorant predation, pollution and poor management. All this means that otters start eating the birds and carp/course fish instead of eels and small shoal fish

Yep, carp were imported and bred for food. The issue isn’t with the Otter, it’s how we played about with nature once again and reintroduced them in too many numbers, our river systems are not what they were and the natural food sources are not there so they look for easy meals. The otters just being an otter…but it doesn’t make up for the fact that fisheries are being ruined.
