Definitely a snapshot.....Managed to stop and get one quick shot from the pickup window, before he dove in the river and disappeared.... This morning a few miles from home.
Nice snapshot, Ron! I used to see them occasionally on the Salmon river when fishing for steelhead. Sometimes a whole group would go right by me. Neat critters!

My wife and I were supprised by a family of otters while we were fishing just south of Livingston Mt. along the Yellowstone river. That was 16 years ago. They are a fun and playful animal to watch.
Thanks Every one, This is the Clearwater River in North Central Idaho. I have seen them here occasionally, but not as often as when I lived in Oregon. There are quite a few of them there.
