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

Rene Peterson of Chelan shows off a big bonefish she caught on her first day of fishing in Belize. She and her husband Robert were part of the group that traveled there with my wife Eileen and I in early April.

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.
