I run a line in the late '80's to early '90's in NS. Lots of beaver and a fair bit of an otter population. In my experiences, the otters seemed pretty content to live off of fish, clams and the odd muskrat. I personally don't believe that they have a significant impact on beaver populations. Never managed to catch one though, and more than once went over the top of my waders in November open waters getting to active slides. Cool critters.
