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

Jerrod Gibbons, Okanogan Valley Guide Service, has his daughter Katlynn in his lap, and a nice triploid rainbow in his hands. It was hooked at the lower net pens on Rufus Woods Reservoir.

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.

Lund 1800 Sport Angler

If there ever was a “dream boat” made for fishing the inland waters of North Central Washington, it would have to be the Lund 1800 Sport Angler. I have had the pleasure of using this model of Lund, thanks to Valley Marine in Yakima, since April of this year.
