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

I found out where all the ice fishermen are hanging out. This is a shot of Lind Coulee from Road M on the way to Medicare Beach. Fishing for perch and some walleye is good right now in this area.

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.

Abu Garcia Soron Spinning Reel
