Clearwater River Otter Season to Close January 6

The river otter trapping quota for the Clearwater Region was reached at 1:30 p.m., Monday, January 3. The otter season for the entire region closes 72 hours after the harvest quota has been met. As a result, the otter season for the region will close at 1:30 p.m., Thursday, January 6. Trappers will be allowed to keep otters trapped within this period provided their personal quota of two has not been reached. Any otter trapped in the Clearwater Region after 1:30 p.m., January 6, must be surrendered to Idaho Fish and Game for a $10 reward.
