Using a Pressure Washer to Dig Up Clams

October 22, 2015

Question: Can I use a pressure washer to dig geoduck and/or gaper clams? (Vuong M.)

Answer: No. Clams may be taken only on hook and line or with the hands. The only special provisions allowed are for the use of spades, shovels, hoes, rakes or other appliances operated by hand, except spears or gaff hooks (CCR Title 14, sections 29.10(a) and 29.20(c)). Pressure washers are not a legal method of take for mollusks.

But Officer, I was only cleaning them, before putting them in my kayak

When I first read it, I wondered how many power cords it would take to reach the clam beds, presuming the cords are waterproof.
