2016 Clamming Clinics
Each spring and summer the Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau sponsors a series of free clam digging and crabbing classes. The classes are free and everyone is welcome. In addition the Driftwood Library offers a free clam digging and crabbing class in association with their annual Coastal Encounters Program presented on each Tuesday in May. Besides our free clam digging and crabbing classes the library offers a class in tide pooling. No registration is required. We thank the Driftwood Library and the Lincoln City for giving us the opportunity to share the wonderful bounty that Siletz Bay has to offer with those who participate in our program. See the details below.
The Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau Clam digging classes begin with a brief lecture at the Driftwood Public Library located at 801 SW Hwy 101 in Lincoln City. The lecture covers Oregon’s clam digging regulations, clam identification, harvest methods, as well as cleaning and cooking methods. Lectures last approximately 45 minutes before adjourning to dig clams. The crabbing and clam digging lectures sponsored by the Coastal Encounters Program begins at 06:30pm ending at 07:45pm. We will cover most aspects of digging clams and crabbing.
Following the clam digging lecture, participants will meet at the gravel pullout just north of the Bay House Restaurant located on the west side of Hwy 101. To get there, travel south on Hwy 101 in Lincoln City through the traffic signal at SW 51st St in the Historic Taft District. Cross over Schooner Creek and go past the asphalt paved Schooner Creek wayside parking area. Park at the next gravel pullout just south of the Schooner Creek wayside.
The clam digging classes are intended to provide the participants with the basic skill and knowledge to take clams from Oregon's Coastal Waters while taking advantage of the wonderful abundance of purple varnish clams.
