Otters, Info on them.
 

After reading a thread by JoeA, it got me to wondering about the fact that my 10 acre lake seems to be devoid of fish. Another gentleman who is getting therapy where my wife goes mentioned that they have gotten all of the fish out of his lake.
Does anyone have information on their habits, where they den. Are they nocturnal or active in the day? Joe's article stated that they can strip a small lake of the fish in a matter of days.
How about you fellows in Ohio? The article was about how the otters were flourishing in your state. Does anyone know where I can find articles on their habits, etc.?
