This is close as I ever got to getting a photo of one of trout that Shane Magnuson hooked when we were fishing at Rocky Ford. The all managed to get away before we could hold them up for a photo!

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.
