Otters On The North Fork Of White River

[vonreed]

I was looking for a little help on some advice from you trout fishermen. I'm looking at possibly coming over and doing a float for some otter and beaver trapping in a week or two. Does anybody know if someone has trapped certain sections of the river? With the drive I have I'd like to make it more productive if at all possible. Thanks.

Justin traps down there a bit...give him a call before you go..

I think about 7 otters have been already trapped between Blair and Sunburst. I might focus on Patrick to James which is about a 4 mile strech, not sure if anyone has trapped down there or not, but there are some good slow holes with mud banks that are perfect for beaver and otter dens.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking for a couple 7 mile floats or approx close to that, that are consecutive for my partner to trap also. We just got done trapping almost all of Bryant and thought about moving on over a little further. Thanks again.

^{The upper North Fork might be better, lots of private property on the lower end with houses and cabins and you might drown someone's dog. Get the paddlers guide map and look from Topaz to Twin Bridges.}

Drowning someones dog won't be an issue. We'd be setting conibears strictly underwater, but avoiding people is always a plus to. We might come over and do a scout trip next week. Thanks.

Give me a holler if you're around.

You may want to try the 11point river for Otters, I always see a lot of them from cane bluff to greer around the spring creek area.
