Services: Otter Fence installation

Fishery protection fencing. TCS can plan your best options and install high specification fencing, ensuring peace of mind that your stock is safe.

Otter fencing is used to restrict otters from entering specific areas – usually lakes containing valuable fish upon which otters would naturally seek to prey.

We understand that protecting fish from predatory otters is vital to the commercial success of angling lakes. TCS use High Tensile otter fencing which protects the valuable investment of expensive stock.

Otter populations are currently at a 40-year high in the UK and they are continuing to rise across Europe. As welcome as this resurgence may be to our natural heritage, otters are a fearsome predator. An unwelcome consequence of their increasing numbers is their impact on fisheries. Otters often prey on larger fish specimens, eating as little as 10% of the flesh and causing hundreds of thousands of pounds of decimation to fish stocks in the process.

All managed still water fisheries and fish farms provide otters and other predators with an easy and abundant food supply.
