Razor digs underway
Razor clam digging opportunities exist at Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis and Mocrocks beaches through Wednesday.
“These digs will be the last opportunity to get razor clams for upcoming Super Bowl festivities,” said Bryce Blumenthal, coastal shellfish biologist with the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. “Hopefully the weather will be ideal like it was during the past low tide series and we’ll have another productive week of winter digging.”
Copalis and Mocrocks beaches are not open every day during each series of digs, so be sure to check which beach is open before heading out.
Tentative future dig dates include Feb. 14-19, and Feb. 26 through March 4.
