The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has approved another round of razor clam digs on the Washington coast.

The five-day dig was approved for evening low tides at Twin Harbors and Kalaloch after marine toxin tests showed clams on the beach were safe to eat. This is the first dig of the season at Kalaloch.

WDFW coastal shellfish manager Dan Ayres recommends diggers hit the beach about an hour or two before low tide for the best results.

Ayres said the department has tentatively scheduled a dig in early February, pending the results of another round of marine toxin results. If the tests confirm the clams are safe to eat, the dig will be February 1-3.

Digging is permitted at the following times and locations:

Jan. 17, Thursday; 3:39 p.m.; 0.4 feet; Twin Harbors

Jan. 18, Friday; 4:30 p.m.; -0.4 feet; Twin Harbors

Jan. 19, Saturday; 5:18 p.m.; -1.1 feet; Twin Harbors, Mocrocks, Kalaloch

Jan. 20, Sunday; 6:05 p.m.; -1.6 feet; Twin Harbors, Copalis, Kalaloch

Jan. 21, Monday; 6:51 p.m.; -1.8 feet; Twin Harbors, Mocrocks, Kalaloch
