Hi, I'm Dave Graybill, the Fishin' Magician!

This father and son show off their stringer taken from Alta Lake on the lowland lakes season opening day. They were part of a large group that travels from Davenport every year to stay at the Wisperin Pine Ranch and fish Alta Lake.

Here you will find current information on fishing in Central Washington State.

I grew up in Central Washington and began writing about the outdoors in the mid 70s. I began broadcasting report on outdoor recreation on KOZI Radio in Lake Chelan in 1991. My reports are now carried on several radio stations and many newspapers in Washington. The reports give what’s happening and how-to information on fishing for bass, perch, walleye, trout, kokanee, salmon, steelhead and other species.
