State's first Karelian bear dog retiring after 12 years of service


The first Karelian bear dog (KBD) used to help manage conflicts with bears and other potentially dangerous wildlife in Washington state is retiring after 12 years of service.
Mishka, a KBD who was enlisted for duty by a Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) biologist in 2003, is retiring after helping to resolve hundreds of tense situations with bears, cougars and other wildlife.
Mishka has worked with WDFW enforcement officer Bruce Richards in the Puget Sound region since 2007, when the dog's original owner/handler, Rocky Spencer, died in a helicopter accident.
Spencer, a WDFW carnivore specialist, acquired Mishka as a pup from the Wind River Bear Institute in Montana, where KBDs are bred and trained in the centuries-old tradition of hunters and farmers in Finland and western Russia.
The black and white dogs, averaging 40 to 65 pounds, are instinctively bold with bears and can be trained to track, help capture and deter them from returning to places where they can get in trouble with humans.
Using a technique called a "hard release," Richards has worked side-by-side with Mishka to chase and harass bears after they have been released from a trap in order to re-instill their natural fear of humans. Richards estimates that at least 80 percent of bears trapped and released this way avoid becoming "repeat offenders" that may ultimately be killed.
Richards, who is also retiring this spring after 41 years with WDFW, says Mishka solves more bear problems in a year than most officers can in a career.
"I am very proud to have been a part of this innovative way to address human-wildlife conflicts that helps both bears and people and builds teamwork between our enforcement and wildlife programs," Richards said. "Mishka has served Washington wildlife enthusiasts well and has more than earned retirement."
WDFW now uses five other KBDs to haze bears, assist in law-enforcement investigations, locate injured and orphaned wildlife, and help educate the public about ways to avoid conflicts with wildlife. Three of those dogs are used by WDFW officers in western Washington, and two others are used by WDFW bear and cougar biologist Rich Beausoleil of Wenatchee.
"These dogs are a huge asset to the department, but it's still up to people to prevent wildlife conflict problems by not intentionally or unintentionally providing food sources that draw bears into bad situations," Beausoleil said.
Mishka will be honored at a ceremony Thursday, March 19, in Kennewick. For more information, call Madonna Luers at 509-892-7853.

WDFW seeks comments on proposal to open fishing for flatfish in Quilcene, Dabob bays


OLYMPIA - Fisheries managers are seeking public comments through April 1 on a state proposal to reopen recreational fishing for flounder, sole and other flatfish - except halibut - in Quilcene Bay and the northern portion of Dabob Bay in Hood Canal.
To review and comment on the proposal, visit the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife's (WDFW) website at http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulations/flatfish/ . The public also can provide input at a meeting scheduled March 19 in Port Townsend.
Under the proposal, fishing for numerous species of flatfish would be allowed in waters shallower than 120 feet in Quilcene and Dabob bays, north of a line stretching east from Point Whitney to the Toandos Peninsula.
Fishing for a variety of species, including flatfish, has been closed in Hood Canal since 2004 to provide additional protection for fish populations that are susceptible to low-dissolved oxygen events, said Craig Burley, manager of WDFW's fish management division. 
"Recent studies show that populations of flatfish have significantly increased in these bays over the last decade," Burley said. "So we're proposing a fishery in those areas that would allow for limited recreational opportunity while still ensuring we meet conservation objectives for those species."
The harvest of Pacific halibut, lingcod and other bottomfish, as well as forage fish, would be prohibited because of continuing conservation concerns for those species, said Burley.
For more than a decade, low dissolved-oxygen events throughout Hood Canal have caused significant die-offs of marine life, including multiple species of fish, shellfish and invertebrates.
Hood Canal is an underwater fjord where normal oxygen exchange in the water takes place slowly because of the canal's depth and shape. Nitrogen entering the water from human sources stimulates blooms of algae, which absorbs oxygen from the water as it decomposes. Under certain weather and wind conditions, the level of life-sustaining dissolved oxygen in the water drops so low that fish and other underwater species suffocate.
WDFW will discuss the proposal to open limited fishing opportunities for flatfish at a meeting from 6 to 8 p.m. March 19 in the Marina Room at the Point Hudson Marina, 130 Hudson Street, Port Townsend. During the meeting, the public can comment on the proposal.
The Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission also will hear public testimony on the proposal during its April 9-10 meeting in Olympia. For the specific day and time, check the commission's website: http://wdfw.wa.gov/commission/ .

The commission, which sets policy for WDFW, is expected to take action on the proposal at its meeting in June.  

WDFW News Release


For all of you interested in bottom fishing or attracting more visitors to South County,
we need your support in providing the Washington State Department of Fish and
Wildlife (WDFW) with input at this upcoming meeting or written comments.

Our Brinnon Parks and Recreation District, which we created via a vote of the residents
in 2013, created a petition to support reopening North Hood Canal to Bottom fishing
after being closed for over a decade.  Last year we secured over 1000 signatures during
a three month period between July and September.  We will be submitting those petitions
to the WDFW at the meeting on March 19th in Port Townsend along with a written
statement of support to reopen all of North Hood Canal to bottom fishing rather than
just Flatfish in Quilcene and Dabob Bay.

A little background concerning why WDFW is seeking public comment on this proposal might
be of interest.  As a result of us providing WDFW with a single unsigned copy of that petition
in August of last year, just to determine how we should proceed in submitting all our signed
petitions, the WDFW Commission directed their staff to initiate rulemaking and to consider
only allowing bottom fishing for selected species in just Quilcene and Dabob Bay.  We believe
that this proposal to just open Bottom Fishing in Quilcene and Dabob bays to only Flatfish
would be a waste of WDFW resources.  We also believe that WDFW should be directing their
limited resources to evaluating the possibility of reopening all of North Hood Canal to
Bottom Fishing to other varieties of species and not just flatfish in Quilcene and Dabob bays.

We need your additional support in attending this meeting and making public comment or
submitting written comment to Craig Burley at  craig.burley@dfw.wa.gov.

Thank you in advance for your support.
