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

A group of anglers were camped on this point on the Grande Ronde River. The scenery you see on a float down this remote stream is spectacular.

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.
