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

Wes Childers and Sharon Rose had a great day with me on Banks Lake. We landed over 100 smallmouth bass, and they kept a few for the pan. We were casting 3-inch Senkos and 4-inch lizards to the rocky shores on the west side, below Steamboat.

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.
