We know that digging razor clams is a holiday tradition for a lot of families, and the tides cooperated this year.
Our experience last year showed that we have enough clams on those two beaches to provide some additional days of digging.
We will look at harvest levels after this dig, and there should be more digging opportunities in the coming months on some beaches.
Starting in April, the lowest tides are in the morning, so that's when we schedule the digs. These morning digs tend to be very popular, partly because we often get good weather.
It is a really classic Northwest way to ring in the New Year, that's for sure. If the weather is good, it's going to be great.
Don't spend your whole day in one spot banging your brains out move.
There's always a chance where folks might be in a bad spot, and the whole key is to get up and move to another location.
It's a little down, but nothing to worry about. It's still in the range of good digging possibilities.
There is going to be plenty of good digging.
Last year was a banner year. Digging probably won't be quite as good this year, but we'll still have a lot of clams to harvest.
