Seven days of razor clam digs began Saturday at coastal beaches.
The digs were confirmed by state Department of Fish and Wildlife shellfish managers.
“This upcoming tide series will kick off with some Super Bowl weekend daytime digging opportunity,” Fish and Wildlife recreational razor clam manager Bryce Blumenthal said in a release. “Come dig some razor clams Feb. 8 for your big game buffet or enjoy a Valentine’s Day date dig.”
Not all coastal beaches are open for every dig, so diggers are encouraged to make sure their intended destination is open before heading out
Digging is not allowed before noon when low tide occurs in the afternoon or evening. Most successful digging occurs between one and two hours before low tide.
The following digs during evening low tides have been scheduled:
- Monday at Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis
- Tuesday and Wednesday at Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks
- Thursday
- Friday at Long Beach, Twin Harbors and Copalis.
The daily limit is 15 clams per person. Each digger’s clams must be kept in a separate container, and all diggers must keep the first 15 clams they dig, regardless of size or condition.
