Shellfish regulations only apply to Columbia River downstream of Tongue Point/Rocky Point line at the mouth of the Columbia River.
Crabbing and clamming are year-round activities on the Oregon coast. Clam diggers will want to watch for low tides, when more beach is exposed for digging. Crabbers will have the best luck during slack tide when crabs are walking about foraging. Visit e-regulations
The northwest zone provides many opportunities for crabbing and clamming. This zone encompasses Clatsop beaches, Nehalem Bay, Tillamook Bay, Netarts Bay, Nestucca Bay, Siletz Bay, Yaquina Bay, Alsea Bay and Siuslaw River.

ODFW manages 20 wildlife areas across the state, each with a unique blend of fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities. Remember, you'll need a Wildlife Area Parking Permit for your visit. See the map and listing below to find the wildlife area nearest you.
A visit to an ODFW is a chance to see fish -- from eggs to brooders -- and to learn how they are raised. Many hatcheries also offer wildlife viewing opportunities and/or access to nearby fishing. Check the map and information below to find the hatchery nearest you.
