Razor clam diggers were successful during late-January digs, and are hoping for more of the same this weekend.

Fishing opportunities continue to grow around the state for steelhead, salmon, smelt and trout and if you dig it, we’ll also throw some razor clams into the mix.
Thousands of razor-clam diggers are expected to head to the coast for what has been an excellent winter season.
Digging will be open Friday to Monday at Long Beach and Twin Harbors; Friday to Sunday at Copalis and Mocrocks; and Saturday and Sunday at Kalaloch.
The dig Jan. 28-31 drew 21,000 digger trips with 275,600 razor clams, an average of 13 clams per person (the first 15 dug regardless of size or condition is a daily limit).
Low tides: Friday, minus-0.7 feet at 4:49 p.m.; Saturday, -0.9 at 5:34 p.m.; Sunday, -0.8 at 6:16 p.m.; and Monday, -0.1 at 6:57 p.m.
