Lakes or streams with shade

Fish survived because otters had predators, mainly trappers, now when I said otter watching I meant with my monocular that has a plus sign in the middle

I don't entirely disagree about trapping, but otters were an also-ran during the height of the fur trade. Beaver are where the money was. Btw, not sure I would discuss shooting otters on a public forum unless you have all your ducks in a row!

Cumberland is not much further than an hour from Lexington. Lots of coves/creeks with shade. Decent fishing depending on what species you are looking for. Summertime is good bluegill and channel cat fishing in most of those places.
