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

Here is a mixed bag of fish taken through the ice at Fish Lake. It included suckers, a pea chub, some perch and a triploid rainbow that must have weighed 4 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.
