Amidea was introduced to the outdoors by her father, who would take her and her brother out on camping trips at a very early age.
George was born in Potter County, along the headwaters of Kettle Creek and started flyfishing at the age of six. Oh, and that’s when they’re not busy raising two little water bugs of their own. In her work, Amidea leads a statewide initiative designed to promote and encourage more women to take up fishing. George says flyfishing is his life, and he spends close to 280 days on the water, while also serving as a coach for the U.S. These high-school sweethearts have been married for nearly 18 years, but their commitment to the outdoors runs just as deep. Occupation: George – Flyfishing guide instructorĪmidea – Educational specialist for the PA Fish and Boat CommissionĬonservation credentials: Spreading the gospel of flyfishing, the mental health benefits of the outdoors, and bringing balance to areas where a growing populations puts extra demands on water resources.
FOUR RIVERS NATIVE GAME SERIES
TRCP’s “In the Arena” series highlights the individual voices of hunters and anglers who, as Theodore Roosevelt so famously said, strive valiantly in the worthy cause of conservation George and Amidea Daniel This should include not only conserving corridors that have already been mapped and analyzed by Idaho Fish and Game, but also migration corridors that will be mapped in the future.Ĥ Responses to “Idahoans: Show Up and Speak Out for Public Lands” I request that the BLM take steps to ensure the conservation of identified big game migration corridors and winter range.I encourage the BLM to identify places where public access acquisition should be a priority, including the creation of access to public lands that are landlocked or difficult to access because there are few or no access points across private land that enable the public to reach BLM lands.The BLM should adopt a Backcountry Conservation Area for the Bennett Hills that would conserve valuable big game range, sustain sportsmen’s access, and prioritize habitat restoration for one of Idaho’s best mule deer hunting areas. It is important to me that the Four Rivers BLM Field Office’s RMP revision conserve valuable big game winter range and popular hunting areas.June 27: Mountain Home Junior High School 1600 E 6th S St, Mountain Home, ID 83647 Suggested talking points June 26: Emmett Junior High School 301 E 4th St, Emmett, ID 83617 June 25: Weiser High School 690 W Indianhead Rd, Weiser, ID 83672 June 18: Boise District Office 3948 S Development Avenue, Boise ID 83705 Public meetings (All meetings run from 4 p.m. Please attend one of four local public meetings and make your voice heard – meeting dates, locations, and times, as well as suggested talking points are listed below. Sportsmen and women must get involved to ensure that the best habitats are conserved and public access for hunting and fishing is maintained. These landscapes provide some of the finest hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation opportunities in western Idaho, as well as important habitat for big game, upland birds, and wild trout.Ĭurrently, the BLM is revising its plan that will determine the future management of these lands for the next 20+ years, and public meetings are scheduled that offer an opportunity for the public to share their ideas directly to the BLM. The Bureau of Land Management’s Four Rivers Field Office manages more than 780,000 acres of public lands across western Idaho from the Bennett Hills to the eastern shores of Brownlee Reservoir.
This is YOUR chance to play a role in how our public lands are managed and ensure that sportsmen and women have a say about the places where we love to hunt and fish
