Rickshaw swami 4,191 Posted November 13, 2024 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2024 Thanks for the responses everybody.Lots of good names that I may use in the future.Ive been on the river all my life same as my dogs.So I would like to thank Mr eastcoast for his idea.When I took an interest in otter I read old books from the UK.The one man I aspired to be like was John Gallon The Otter Hunter King.He drowned in the River Lugar.I also remember reading stories of great hunts along the River Taw which I believe was rumored to produce very heavy otters 150 years ago.I couldn't find these places on a map but I reckon pups will be Lugar and Taw. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lugar is up Scotland near Ayr and the taw enters the sea at Barnstaple in Devon, you can follow it south through Devon from there. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If not it might be of interest . Though I hope you don't aspire to emulate Mr Gallon to the extent of drowning on the job ! You have picked great names , far more upmarket than some of the tongue in cheek suggestions . All the best. Edited November 14, 2024 by comanche 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
