So come November first season will be open for otters in Nebraska and closes three days after the 75th otter is tagged. limit 1. So I think I will try my luck at trying to snag an otter off three potential rivers. I really don’t know anything about otter trapping and most of what I’ve read about focuses on cross overs and smaller channels. Most of the river ground we’ve got is wide shallow rivers with a few little backwaters where the channel used to flow. Anyone have some insight on how to fill by bag? I’m wondering just how quick this season is going to be.

Any crossovers at bends in these rivers?

See if you can find an otter toilet and set footholds where they are getting out of the water.

I like my coni triggers on the bottom they are pretty agile but still need to kick their feet to swim.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Any crossovers at bends in these rivers? Not much for bends in the river, there may be a few on the one I have the least amount of access to. If those backwaters have fish,crawfish,etc. those otters visit there. Any sand bars in these rivers? There are sand bars but most of them come and go pretty quickly.

My best otter set has been beaver castor mound set with Backbreaker and a foothold on a drowner, especially after the otter season closes and beaver season is still open the Dnr has gotten quite a few from me then.
