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

Work has already started on the Kids Fishing Day at Connelly Park in Moses Lake. Julie Smith (left) and Curt Carpenter, of the Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District and I met at the park with Chad Jackson (not picture) of the Department of Fish and Wildlife to begin plans for 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. 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.

Net Holder from Fish Fighter Products

Thanks to my friends at Bob Feil Boats and Motors in East Wenatchee, I have the use of excellent fishing boats. They are outfitted with everything an angler could want—except a place to keep my net handy. I lean my net against the windshield or the front seat, and that works okay. read more...
