State shellfish managers have approved a “bonus” razor clam dig at Mocrocks Beach May 18-20.

“We are happy to announce that healthy clam populations on Mocrocks beach support another dig,” said State Department of Fish and Wildlife Coastal Shellfish Manager Dan Ayres. Recent marine toxin tests show the clams are safe to eat, allowing for the rare late dig; Ayres said the season in 2016 ended May 22.

This dig will be the last of the season until the season tentatively reopens in October.

Mocrocks will be the only beach open for the 3-day dig on morning low tides. No digging will be allowed on any beach after noon.

Mocrocks Beach is bordered on the south by the Copalis River and the north by the southern end of the Quinault Indian Reservation, just south of the Moclips River. Iron Springs, Roosevelt Beach, Seabrook, Pacific Beach and Moclips Beach are popular digging destinations within Mocrocks Beach.

Copalis Beach, just south of Mocrocks, will not be open.

All diggers age 15 or older must have an applicable 2019-20 fishing license to harvest razor clams on any beach; 2018-19 licenses are no longer valid for this dig. Licenses, ranging from a three-day razor clam license starting at $9.70 to an annual combination fishing license, are available online at fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov and from license vendors around the state.

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.
