Sport Clam season shortened at Dosewallips State Park

2-14-2013
WA Department of Fish & Wildlife Staff

Action: The sport clam fishing season at Dosewallips State Park will open on April 1, 2013.

Effective Date: Dosewallips State Park: April 1 through Aug. 15, 2013.

Species Affected: All clams.

Location: Dosewallips State Park, in area defined by boundary markers and signs posted on the beach. This beach is located in Jefferson County near Brinnon.

Reason for Action: Recreational effort increased significantly in 2012, and the state clam share was overharvested, requiring WDFW to shorten the season by 3 ?? months in 2013. Oysters remain open year-round on this beach.

Information Contact: Camille Speck, WDFW Point Whitney Shellfish Laboratory, (360) 796-4601, ext. 234.
