Silver Otter ?
Permalink  
 

I hooked a silver otter today , I was fishing down around 4 today and hooked what must have been a 8 to 10 pd er   All I know is I saw my indicator dip  I set the hook,  saw a silver flash going deep and heading accross and down stream taking lots of line and deep then turn back up streem   swimming fast.  Jacked me up  big time  . A huge bow in my line . Then        Slack      . Must have been an Otter   ?    WOW    Those Otters kick ass

Is everything ok with you Rich?confuse You know I remember hooking and landing rainbow colored beaver once, we talked a bit about current affairs; politics and the state of the economy. I then removed the hook (barbless of course) we said our good byes, I then sent him on his way.BTW I was using a balsa wood pattern!

I was just messing with you Richbiggrin I actually did hook a beaver in the nose at Putah about 20 years ago, I was using a pink glo bug! I yelled to my buddy that I had a HUGE brown on my line as the beaver dove and took most of my line till he broke me off. I just didnt tell him it was a HUGE brown beaver untill later!

A buddy of mine at guide school flossed a beaver on the Pitt on the swing.  The thing went nuts and he thought he had hooked a wale until it surfaced.  It was his birthday too.  Nothing like a little beaver on your birthday!
