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

Here you will find the latest information on outdoor recreation in North Central Washington.

I grew up in North Central Washington, and began writing about the outdoors in the mid 70s. In 1991 I began broadcasting reports on outdoor recreation on KOZI Radio in Lake Chelan. My reports are now being broadcast on several radio stations in Washington and are mainly focused on freshwater fishing. I do cover other aspects of outdoor recreation, such as skiing and snowmobiling and hunting.

The Reports are updated three times a week and cover a wide range of topics on seasonal outdoor activities.

The Story Page, updated often, contains articles I have written, and will occasionally feature contributions from guest writers.

I have also included some other elements to the page I think you will find useful, and links for even more recreational information.

Lund 1800 Sport Angler

If there ever was a “dream boat” made for fishing the inland waters of North Central Washington, it would have to be the Lund 1800 Sport Angler. I have had the pleasure of using this model of Lund, thanks to Valley Marine in Yakima, since April of this year.
