Learning to Dig Clams and Crab at Siletz Bay is exactly the goals of our clam digging and crabbing clinics. How far you and your family and friends take your enthusiasm is up to you but we do our best to get you started with an adventure that lasts a lifetime.
2015 Siletz Bay FREE Clam Digging and Crabbing Events
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. 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. See the details below.
Clam Clinics For Purple Varnish And Softshell Clams
Clam digging clinics 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.
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 clams in Siletz Bay. Each digger will go home with limits of clams.

2015 Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau Sponsored Crabbing Classes. Call Bill for additional information at 541 265 5847.
Our crabbing classes are designed to provide participants the basic hands on skill and knowledge about the art of taking Dungeness and red rock crabs from Oregon's Coastal Waters; and if we are lucky we will catch some crabs during the lesson. Once again, we thank the Lincoln City for giving us the opportunity to share the wonderful bounty that Siletz Bay has to offer.
OVERVIEW:
Prior to crabbing, participants will meet at the pavilion located at the end of SW 51st St in the Historic Taft District of Lincoln City for a brief orientation. The orientation will familiarize participants with Oregon’s crabbing regulations, harvest methods, identification, and cleaning and cooking techniques. Parking is available between Mo’s Restaurant and the pavilion.

Thurs., Oct. 1, 9:00 AM
REQUIREMENTS:
Each crabber over the age of 14 will need:
Shellfish license available on site for 7.00 annual resident license, or 11.50 for a three day non-resident license
Crab traps
Crab measure
5 gallon bucket
Large package of chicken legs for bait
Pair of rubber gardening gloves to protect your fingers
Each crabber is allowed to crab with up to 3 devices. Crab pots, crab rings and the small pyramid crab traps are inefficient for use while crabbing from shore. Crabs snares used with fishing poles work well but not nearly as well as folding crab traps.
NOTE: Crab Max folding crab traps with hand lines will be available for purchase on site the day of the clinic. Payment must be made by cash or check only. If you plan to buy equipment at the clinic please arrive 30 minutes early.
