-- Hello, WDFW is looking to hire a couple of experienced bottomfish anglers as Scientific Technician 1s to catch and release nearshore groundfish species with rod and reel gear aboard WDFW chartered fishing vessels. These positions fish for the annual WDFW rod and reel surveys which provide biological and population distribution information about several nearshore groundfish species that inhabit Washington’s coastal waters. Our charter days are typically 10 hours long and are scheduled Monday-Friday from March 10-April 30 in the spring and September 15-October 15 in the fall. All survey days are weather dependent and we only expect to fish 21 days in the spring and 9 days in the fall. The ideal candidate would be available to fish most of the scheduled days throughout the year. About half of the trips leave out of Westport and the other half of the trips are out of Neah Bay and La Push. These positions are based out of Westport, so when fishing out of the north ports, travel from Westport, meals, and hotel is provided. All trips will be on the open ocean (on the outer coast, not in the straits) and anglers will have to fish in poor weather conditions including heavy rain, wind, and wave action. These are great positions for someone who is retired or has a flexible schedule, loves to fish, and wants to get paid a bit for it. If anyone would like any more information you can contact me at Robert.davis@dfw.wa.gov or by phone at 564-999-1983 and if you would like to apply, copy & paste the link below. Thanks for putting the word out. Rob

Volunteers sought as WDFW marks millions of hatchery salmon for release Paid positions also available as marking effort continues OLYMPIA – The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is seeking additional help marking more than 110 million hatchery salmon and steelhead to identify them as hatchery fish before being released into state waters in 2022. WDFW’s mass-marking program has played a vital role in salmon management since the mid-1990s. Hatchery fish are marked by clipping their adipose fin while still in the fry stage, before being released to make their way from their home waters to the ocean and back. This marking helps differentiate hatchery fish from natural-origin or “wild” fish, playing a key role in fisheries where anglers may encounter salmon stocks or species listed under the Endangered Species Act. WDFW is currently hiring paid positions to perform this vital work, but staffing in recent years has been challenging, said Eric Kinne, WDFW’s Hatchery Division manager. “This work is essential to fishing throughout the state, and critical to salmon conservation efforts,” said Kinne. “We continue working to recruit for these positions, but last year members of the community stepped up in a big way to help us complete this annual effort.” This work is performed every year for several months in the spring and early summer, at hatchery facilities across Washington. Work is often performed in shifts throughout the day and even on weekends, so there are many opportunities to volunteer. Anyone interested in volunteering at a WDFW hatchery can visit WDFW’s website at https://wdfw.wa.gov/get-involved/volunteer Anyone interested in applying for a paid marking position can look for positions in their area and apply through Kelly Services. These temporary, full-time positions pay $16.49 per hour with the ability to start immediately, no experience required and training provided. WDFW requested additional funding ahead of this year’s legislative session to improve automation of its marking process and fund additional work, but much of the annual marking effort is still done by hand by employees and volunteers working in marking trailers. “We have 11 million more fish to mark this year than last year, which is great news but also means we need even more help in 2022,” Kinne said. “If this work isn’t completed, it could have big impacts on fisheries in Washington.” To learn more about WDFW’s mass-marking program, visit https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/management/hatcheries/mass-marking. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife works to preserve, protect, and perpetuate fish, wildlife and ecosystems while providing sustainable fish, wildlife, and recreational and commercial opportunities.
