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

Bob Whitehall was surprised to catch a burbot while walleye fishing on Banks Lake. He got two of them on his favorite walleye spinner when were were trolling behind Steamboat Rock.

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.
