Three more days of razor clam digging in the North Beach area has been given the thumbs up by State fishery managers.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) approved the three-day opening at Copalis and Mocrocks after marine toxin tests confirmed the clams on those beaches are safe to eat.

WDFW coastal shellfish manager Dan Ayres said the long weekend should provide ample opportunity for clammers. The best digging typically occurs one to two hours before low tide.

The dates, times and evening low tides for the digs are as follows:

• Friday, 7:17 p.m.; -1.4 feet; Copalis, Mocrocks

• Saturday, 7:59 p.m.; -1.0 feet; Copalis, Mocrocks

• Sunday, 8:40 p.m.; -0.4 feet; Copalis, Mocrocks

Digging is not allowed on any beach before noon. State law mandates diggers can only 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.

All diggers age 15 or older are required to have an applicable 2016-17 fishing license to harvest razor clams on any beach.

Long Beach and Twin Harbors remain closed to razor clam digging due to elevated levels of domoic acid.
