Three beaches will open for razor clam dig
Action: Open razor clam season
Effective dates: Jan. 27 through Jan. 29, 2006
Digs are scheduled Jan. 27, 28 and 29. At four beaches -- Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks and Kalaloch. Digging is allowed from 12:01 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. each day only.
Species affected: Razor clams
Location: The four beaches that will open to razor-clam digging are:
· Long Beach, from the Columbia River north jetty to Leadbetter Point on the Long Beach Peninsula.
· Twin Harbors, from the south jetty at the mouth of Grays Harbor south to the mouth of Willapa Bay.
· Mocrocks Beach, from the Copalis River to the Moclips River.
Kalaloch Beach, which extends from the south beach campground to Brown's Point (just south of
Beach Trail 3) in the Olympic National Park
Reasons for action: Marine toxins tests found that clams on these beaches are safe to eat.
Other information: Diggers must carry a valid 2005-06 fishing license to participate in the upcoming opening. Harvesters may take no more than 15 razor clams and must keep the first 15 taken, regardless of size or condition. Each diggers limit must be kept in a separate container.
