Chris - Alex - My Husband and I are clamming at the Oregon coast. It is a great recreational pastime that can be very rewarding. All you really need to dig them is looking up the tide times, a shovel, a rake, bucket, boots and a digging permit.
You could have 20 clams, of which only 12 in aggregate may be gaper clams or geoduck clams.
That looked more like Tillamook Bay!

In addition to the 20 clam limit, you can take 36 purple varnish or softshell clams, in any combination of the two.
Softshells are somewhat similar to gapers, but they are smaller. They are an invasive species. Purple varnish are usually around 3 inches wide, and thin. They are also invasive. Both taste very good, the same as any other clam you would normally catch. Purple varnish and softshells are found in HUGE numbers in some places Tillamook bay near Garibaldi. More info in the reg. book.
