Clam digs could be coming to Long Beach in September.
The Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife says that a three-day razor clam dig is proposed for Pacific County beginning Sept. 27.
In a release, the department says that toxin tests will confirm if the dig can proceed.
The upcoming dig is proposed for the following dates and morning low tides:
All diggers age 15 or older must have an applicable 2019-20 fishing license to harvest razor clams on any beach. Licenses, ranging from a three-day razor clam license to an annual combination fishing license, are available on WDFW’s website at https://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov and from license vendors around the state.
WDFW is currently assessing additional digs for Twin Harbors, Copalis and Mocrocks in October, but has not yet finished those assessments, nor set dates.
Under state law, diggers at open beaches can take 15 razor clams per day and are required to keep the first 15 they dig. Each digger’s clams must be kept in a separate container.
