OLYMPIA – Shellfish managers have given the OK for two days of razor clam digging at Copalis and Mocrocks beaches beginning Saturday.
The state Department of Fish and Wildlife approved the opening on the two beaches after marine toxin tests confirmed the clams on those beaches are safe to eat. No digging is allowed at any beach before noon.
Low tides on both days of the opening take place in the afternoon, making it possible for diggers to harvest clams in the daylight for a change, said Dan Ayres, the state’s coastal shellfish manager.
“This opening is also the last chance diggers will have to fill their buckets before the Christmas holiday,” Ayres said.
