| | | special moment
I was out on the river bank at 06.30 yesterday morning hoping to catch a sea trout encouraged up stream by the huge tides.
I was casting a fly just below a small weir and I watched a line of bubbles move across the pool and then was delighted to see an otter break surface and climb over the weir and swim upstream. It was totally relaxed and I am sure unaware of me. Was only about 30ft from me. Didnt catch a thing but those few seconds made my day..

Oh, lucky you.  What a splendid thing to see. I've still only managed to see one otter in the wild, and nowhere near that close. |

Excellent. I used to see a lot more Otters when I used to fish than nowadays. A sight like that more than makes up for a blank day fish-wise

How lovely, one animal I've never had the fortune to see.

What a wonderful sight. I've yet to see one in the wild so hopefully, fingers crossed it may happen one day. |

Now that's what I call a moment to treasure. Not something many people will come across so you were very lucky.
I bet you won't forget that in a long time.

Still waiting to see my first otter, but what a very special moment for you.
