The Angling Trust have set up an online questionnaire/survey which is intended to provide a national picture of the impact otters are having on fish stocks in rivers and stillwaters. Clearly within Norfolk and Suffolk we have plenty of experience, what we need is for all affected land and fishery owners and clubs and anglers to report their own problems and experiences independently so that a full picture is seen by the Angling Trust and its officers who will be handling this issue, going forward.

If you have any experiences to report, please do so, whether they are in `Norfolk and Suffolk or farther afield.

It is confidential and the results will only be used to collate national and county-wide information and will not be attributed to any particular fishery. They need to hear from as many people as possible, including those who have no otters on their waters, and those who have otters, but have suffered no discernible impact on fish stocks.
