A good crowd is gathered around Shane Magnuson at the Annual Valley Marine Boat Show at Hooked on Toys in Wenatchee. Shane, of Upper Columbia Guide Services, provided one of the seminars at the event.

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.

The reports give what’s happening and how-to information on fishing for bass, perch, walleye, trout, kokanee, salmon, steelhead and other species.
