So why not get 15-20 fly fishers together and buy an existing house/cabin in the area with a nice fireplace, load the bedrooms with bunk beds, put the minimum down-payment and share the monthly expenses, and help improve and fish the Flatbook and the other streams in the area?
Maybe a pipe dream, but my wife is making a lot of noise about moving to Central or Southern NJ, but the NW Corner of the State has been in my blood since I was a young teen and it would be great to have a lodge/clubhouse to return to.
Pat - I'd be happy to negotiate this real estate transaction on behalf of the newly forming club if you'd agree to leave behind your rods and tying gear?
I do agree that the Flatbrook is seeing a lot of otters, but let's not go so far as to say they are dangerous. And you don't want to get caught with a handgun, Kronk, because in NJ that is certain jail time! Forget shooting harmless otters, just having a hand gun on your person without a concealed carry permit is a bad idea. Otters are highly inquisitive. The behavior you described is one of curiosity and not of aggression. If you carry the gun for bears, I highly recommend you switch to pepper spray.
