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

Here I am removing a Maxi-Jig from a big steelhead I hooked below Wells Dam. My wife Eileen wanted to go fishing so we ran up and cast bobbers and jigs from the bar. This was the only fish, but it made out day!

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.

Revo4 SX Low Profile Reel from Abu Garcia

I have been a fan of the Revo series of low profile reels for over a decade. My first one was the SX that performed better than any of the other casting reels I owned. I then got the SXT which was an even better version. read more...
