OUTDOORS: Matt Schubert’s five best bets to do this weekend

■ Be a citizen — The Brad Stenger Memorial Citizens Race returns to Hurricane Ridge this Saturday and Sunday at 11 a.m.

For all of you who have watched Bode Miller carve up a slalom course and thought “I could do that,” this is your chance to prove it.

■ Dosewallips dig — Kalaloch’s exclusion from this weekend’s set of razor clam digs need not discourage.

Dosewallips State Park is more than a viable option with afternoon minus tides Tuesday (minus 1.26 feet at 1:40 p.m.) and Wednesday (minus 1.30 feet at 2:30 p.m.) exposing its beaches to prime shellfish digging for littleneck clams.

They may not be razors, but they still taste pretty darn good in a bowl of chowder.

■ Sol Duc steelhead — The river is just starting to drop back into shape after getting drenched much of the past week.

Perhaps that splash of rain brought in a few new fish as well?

■ Teeny talks — Much of the Peninsula’s fly fishing establishment will descend upon Sequim for Saturday’s presentation by world-class fly fishing angler Jim Teeny.

An author and gear manufacturer, Teeny will speak on all sorts of subjects specific to the fly scene at the all-day event inside the Guy Cole Convention Center at Carrie Blake Park.

For more details, see today’s outdoors column.

■ Owl Prowl — Dungeness River Audubon Center Director Bob Boekelheide will lead an owl prowl through the northeastern foothills of the Olympics this Saturday from 7 p.m. to midnight.

Cost is $30 per person. Space is limited to 10, so pre-registration is required through the River Center (360-681-4076).
