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

Most anglers fish for trout on the season opener, but Zack Tayor and his friend Stony like to fish for bass. These fish were taken at Leader Lake. They also had a bucketful of big bluegill and perch.

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.

Float Fishing Report

You have read plenty of reports from me about the joy of bobber and jig or float fishing for steelhead on the upper Columbia River. You have probably attended seminars where local guides, like Shane Magnuson of Upper Columbia Guide Services, have talked about how successful they have been catching steelhead with this technique. read more...
