Upper Clearwater No-Motor Rule Begins September 15

OROFINO - Boat anglers who fish the Clearwater River above Orofino are reminded that the "No-motors" rule goes into effect September 15, 2001 through April 30, 2002 from the Clearwater River Bridge at Orofino upstream to the mouth of Clear Creek at Kooskia. Anglers may not use motorized watercraft while fishing for steelhead, trout, or any other species in the popular stretch of river. Driftboats and other non-motorized craft are allowed. The "No-motors" rule is upholding the Idaho Department of Fish and Game's policy of providing a varied fishing experience on the stretch of river.
