Does anyone know if there is a map available which shows which fisheries have been ottered or have had to erect otter proof fencing to keep them out.
would be useful to know where they are and where they may be moving to.

Not the best idea to publish where the few fenced lakes are I wouldn't of thought.

The Big Girl from my local estate lake, I caught her a 24lb in 2012.
The lake has now lost x2 30lb x5 mid 20s and some tench around 10lb, such a shame as the lake couldn't be fenced and now contains very little fish.

There would not be much point in doing. Otters are in every county now, and spreading at a rate of a 15 mile radius per year (Well that's what me and two other fishery owners have noted in our area)
The sad truth is your going to have safe waters with Fences, and waters that are not fenced devoid of Fish and Wildfowl.
~ Here in Lancs 3 more waters have fitted fences in just the last two weeks! Got told of a story of a few guys who have a little 1 acre water, that took instant action as soon as they found kills. They hired Flood lighting so they could work solid for 48hrs to install a full Fence.
