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

This just one group of anglers that were fishing at Sidley Lake during the NW Ice Fishing Festival in Molson. Unfortunately, not a single fish was caught. However, all the prizes were awarded by drawings. Everyone had a great time 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. 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.

Sliding Dodger Available at Hooked on Toys

Anglers are always looking for an edge. One of the things that salmon anglers are doing is using “break away” flashers to eliminate the drag of the flasher once a fish is hooked.
