Wonderful footage Paul. When fishing, as well as otters, I've seen a swimming stoat, a swimming squirrel, and had barbel swim between my legs whilst wading. It's true what they say, there's more to fishing than catching fish...All the best

Thanks Aaron. You absolutely right the wild life is all part of the experience!
