Need advice on how to get rid of otter...

[PartridgeRckgal]

We have recently discovered an otter living in our fish pond. Does anyone have any experience and/or advice on how to get rid of this pesky critter? He is eating our fish!! Thanks!!

I agree... they are beautiful and funny to watch. But we have a lot of $ and time invested in our fish ponds. I don't want to lose it all to this little guy (or gal)!! We have found its slide and the fish bones from his eating, now we just have to figure out how to get rid of him.

Thanks gavinandallison. We called our local animal control and they do not deal with wildlife. I am going to contact our State wildlife agency on Monday and see what have to say.
