Keta: To each their own, but on most beaches you can dig a lmit of horse clams and a limit of steamers. It's not an either or situaton. I don't always bother with the horse clams, but with the limit on steamers so low its not a bad idea to get both limits.

Beleive it or not I really do know a bit about clamming in Washington. I have been doing it for about, 55 years. When I began, as a kid, we had no limits, or none anyone cared about. Every summer we woud have a big clam bake with 30-50 folks over to feast on the hundereds of pounds of clams we dug.
