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

Here I am with a typical Omak Lake cutthroat. We had a blast catching these guys last weekend. A white with pink Needlefish turned out to be the hot lure.

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.

This wobbling, rattling lure has proven to be irresistible to spring salmon on the Columbia River. From the folks at Yakima Bait it is a new version of the famous Flatfish that has been used for decades. read more...
