The author, William Lackner, is a recognized authority on digging the clams common to Oregon's Coastal Waters. You may have seen him digging bay clams on the Oregon Coast Show or in one of Oregon's Newspapers. Join William next May or June for Clam Clinic 2008. Learn to dig Oregon's Clams by attending any of our events - they are absolutely FREE. Clam Clinic 2008 Siletz Bay is a two day event beginning with a 2 hour lecture and slide presentation at 6:00 pm on May 20 at the Driftwood Library in Lincoln City and a clam dig on the morning of the following day. We will meet at 7:30 am on May 21st to dig Purple Varnish Clams from Siletz Bay at the Schooner Creek Wayside. Purple Varnish clams are the easiest of
Clam Clinic 2008 Yaquina Bay is a spectacular opportunity to dig gaper clams on an isolated tidal flat surrounded on all sides by water located in the middle of Yaquina Bay. The gaper clam dig is sponsored by Englund Marine - Located on Newport's Bay Front - They supply all of the equipment necessary to meet your clam digging needs. We will rendezvous at the South Beach Marina at approximately 8:00 am or earlier if necessary on the 7th of June. The trip to the island is an easy 10 minute boat ride from the marina. Four diggers will be transported by boat to the island at a time. I need advance notice for this dig to schedule departure of the diggers to ensure that all the diggers are transported in an efficient timely manner. Each digger will have to provide their own lifejacket and wear their lifejacket during the boat trip to the island. Each digger must accept responsibility for their own safety while being transported in the boat to the island or provide for their own transportation to the island. We recommend Sawyers Landing and RV Park to those diggers with RVs. Include a visit to the Hatfield Marine Science Center. The displays of marine life and interactive tide pools will thrill young and old alike and it is free. Clam Clinic 2008 Coos Bay is a two day event on June 4th and 5th sponsored by the Charleston Marina Complex and Englund Marine. Clam Clinic 2008 Coos Bay begins with a 2 hour lecture with an accompanying slide presentation describing how to dig razor and bay clams. The lecture and slide presentation will be held at the RV Park Recreation Hall on Wednesday June, 04 starting at 6:00 pm. The gaper clam dig occurs at 7:30 am on Thursday morning June, 05 on the tidal flats located across the street from the Charleston Marina Complex RV Park. I recommend staying at the RV Park at the Charleston Marina Complex located at 63402 Kingfisher Rd-541-888-9512-rvpark@charlestonmarina.com. The RV Park is accessed by turning northwest onto Boat Basin Rd. from Cape Arago Hwy. and then right onto Kingfisher Rd. Park Host Susan Smith will do everything possible to make you stay a pleasant one. This is a great opportunity for those of you with RVs to learn how to dig bay clams from the doorstep of your RV. The razor clams dug from area beaches are an added bonus for those of you seeking additional recreational clam digging opportunities. Englund Marine located just around the corner on the Cape Arago Hwy can outfit you with all of the equipment to meet your clam digging needs. They are the only retail outlet in the Coos Bay vicinity that sells a complete line of clam digging equipment.
