Still never seen one.

Go and sit dead quiet by the Delph on a Summers evening and keep your eyes on a bit of bank you've baited with a smelly old mackerel or similar. You'll see one or two then. Used to fish for pike up there with a mate and we would see them regularly. Pine Lake (Resort) up by Carnforth had a number of the vermin around it too.

We’ve had a couple on that land where we both shoot. Cat food mashed and put on a raft for a few mornings. Then from the other side of the lake shot it off the raft at 4.30am. With the HMR. At about 100 yards. Summertime of course.

Yeah I knew that mate, fished a few places years ago where the moorhens and coots had suddenly vanished. Just never seen one, or an otter. Not yet.

First time I saw one there was just at daybreak, I had come past the meadow and was walking alongside the ditch. It hopped up onto the first timber bridge and sat there for a few moments. I didn’t have my gun loaded and by the time I tried to it was off. Now I load before I leave my car, just in case.
