Take a Kid Clamming

On 04/29 The CDAO had the pleasure of assisting Greg Harlow instruct the Toledo Outdoor School kids to dig razor clam at South Beach during a minus 1.8 foot tide.  The kids were camped at the South Beach State Park to learn how to dig for razor clams.  ODFW supplied the shovels and kids provided the enthusiasm.  The rough surf conditions kept the clams from showing.  I found one razor clam necking in about a foot of water and when I got down on one knee the surf rolled me over to the amusement of those watching me.. Greg found a razor clam necking and dug it.  The kids gathered around Greg to get a good look at his prize.  The kids returned to looking with renewed interest and shortly thereafter one young man dug his first razor clam.  Bill
