There were close to 300 kids that participated in the Moses Lake Kids Fishing Derby, provided by the Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District and Pepsi. Jaycee was one of the happier ones, with this big fish.

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.
