I had a Heron try to steal one of my bows on the Thom a few years ago. That lesson taught me what the back pocket on my fly vest is for.

Toilet paper?  Come on, herons aren't that scary...

I hear you, there is a new resident otter at Rice Lake and he or her makes the rounds of all the fishermen/women and made the mistake of visiting me, it sure took off in a hurry!

Fishing for Coho and hooked a weighty surf perch today in Tofino and a bald eagle swooped from behind me and carried it and my spoon into the distance! Had to point the rod at it and snap it off. Am glad I had the 10lb test on or i would have been spooled or could have hurt the eagle. Having delivered the fish to the test the it then sat in a tree behind us watching us fish; was trying to think of a strategy to out fox him if I got a salmon on and came up blank.

This is madness, I think we need a otter cull.

Considering the amount of fish you catch, I would be more apt to throw my weight behind a Rod cull... ;)

Rod, it's not like you to paint things black and white.

What about in this case?

Hey, according to FA, I don't catch anything so no cull needed. ;D

I was fishing from my boat in front of pt. atkinson light house trolling herring and was just putting a new bait out and a seagull came down grabbed it and flew off. I pointed my rod at it and  pulled, he got the bait I got my stuff back. Well I then re-baited and started to put it out again and wham got a nice 15 Ib. spring. So I then thanked the gull cause my bait would not have been in the right place at right time otherwise. :)
