Lower Mountain Fork River, OK… 12/11-12/12

We got the chance to get out of town, so we bolted to Oklahoma. I fished yesterday evening and this morning, and caught 15 or so with black and olive buggers. Caught a couple of really nice ones today and had an encounter with a friendly river otter at daybreak. He torpedoed right up to where i was standing and startled the crap out of me. Lol. It was big and I had no idea what he was at first. I jumped and almost slipped on the rocks. 😅 He was about 5 feet from me and stuck his head and whiskers out the water. He stared me in the eyes for about 5 seconds as if to say, “You alright man?” Lol.. then he dipped his head back under and swam off. Guess he just wanted to check me out. Pretty cool seeing one up close like that.
