IOGA working for you

There's been a lot of talk about Congressman Simpson's plan for the Northwest. As an outfitter or guide this plan can benefit you. IOGA was invited to participate in the development phase of Simpson's proposal a year ago when we visited D.C. and had the plan presented to us by Simpson's staffers. Since then we have worked with Simpson and his staff to ensure that the interests of Idaho's outfitters and guides are known and represented in the plan and through this process. This involvement has already resulted in the addition of a $75 million sport fishing contingency fund to protect the outfitting community on the chance there were short term season closures/restrictions due to parts of the dam retirement process. We look forward to continuing to work closely with Simpson, his staff and others involved to ensure the interest of Idaho's outfitters and guides are represented in this process. Fundamentally, our role and intention as an Association remains to promote and defend the interests of our members.
