The time to submit your 772 Request for Eggs (PDF Form) application is upon us! For teachers who obtain Chinook salmon eggs from the Feather River Hatchery, that is teachers who release their fish on the Feather or Sacramento rivers, the deadline to submit your application is October 31. Here is a 3 minute video and step by step instructions for you to successfully submit your 772 application.

How to Submit Your 772 Request for Eggs Application

Step 1: You MUST be certified to apply for fish eggs.

To become certified all you need to do is register and complete one of our upcoming Teacher Workshops. If you have previously completed a teacher workshop and participated in Fish in the Classroom in the last 3 years then you are certified and you can move onto step 2. (The only exception to this is if you broke the rules and have to re-certify—if so, you know who you are.)

Here is detailed instruction on submitting your 772 application from our CAEP coordinator, Richard Muñoz, recorded from our most recent teacher workshop.

Step 2: Get a copy of the application.

Step 3: Fill out the 772 Request for Eggs application by hand or on your computer

Step 4: Make sure it is SIGNED by you and your principal/supervisor.

Step 5: SCAN the application to your computer. Do not "snail" mail or fax. Do not email directly from a scanner.

Step 6: Save the scanned application as a PDF

Step 7: If you don't have a scanner, use an app on a phone or tablet.

iScanner worked well for iPhone or iPads. There are a few free apps ;you can try regardless of the type of phone you are using. Using an app you can convert document into a PDF and then email.

Step 8: Email your completely filled out, signed, PDF, 772 application to CAEP Staff by the deadline (October 31).

Step 9: We will send you a confirmation email if everything is done correctly.

Step 10: Get in touch with your sponsor and get ready to set up your tank!

Step 11: If any of these steps isn't done correctly...

We'll let you know what to fix and you are still responsible to turn in the corrected application before the deadline. If you have any other questions or want more detail on a step, contact CAEP Staff.

I hope the school year is shaping up nicely. Have a super September!
