Hit up the grand monday morning. Hiked myself a couples miles down river from an access point and found some nice steelies. Had some fishin buddies for a about an hour. Two nice sized river otters playin on the river bank next me. I have seen tracks numerous times but this was the first time seeing some that close. Their usually so secretive and hard to see. Over all a great day on a nice remote section of the river. Fish came on black marabou jigs in slower sections of water.

I've had what I think were mink run between my feet while fishing off rocks half way to the light house, but I've never seen the otters. heading there wed after noon I hope I see some.
Ya i see mink all over the breakwalls also. You gota get to the more remote sections of the grand to find them otters. Added bonus since those more remote river sections hold unpressured fish.
This is really cool, I had no idea otters were even in ohio. I Googled it and they said they were reintroduced in the grand in 1986 after they were completed wiped out
They're doing well enough that we have a season on them again. We're allowed to trap up to three a year depending on what county you're in.
