OLYMPIA — The final Washington coastal razor clam digs of the season are proceeding as planned from May 4-14, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife shellfish managers announced.
“This last tide series had lots of happy diggers, and we’re anticipating more of the same for this upcoming tide series to close out the season,” said Bryce Blumenthal, a WDFW coastal shellfish biologist.
On all open beaches — Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks, and Copalis — the daily limit is 20 razor clams instead of the usual 15. Each digger’s clams must be kept in a separate container, and all diggers must keep the first 20 clams they dig, regardless of size or condition.
The most successful digging occurs within two hours before the listed time of low tide.
