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

My wife Eileen shows off one the many smallmouth bass she caught at Banks Lake recently. We caught over 50 fish, with eight weighing over a pound to over two pounds.

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.

Warden’s Maxi Jig

Okay, I am way behind on the review of this one. I first started using the Maxi Jigs this past winter for steelhead. When these jigs were introduced everyone started using them, for good reason.
