I have two dates that I want to you remember. The first is Saturday June 4th, which is when the annual Kids Fish-In Day happens at the National Fish Hatchery in Leavenworth. There have been some changes this year, the most important to note is that it is now a free event. You still need to register your kids, but it can all be done on-line. You can visit my web site at fishingmagician.com, and click on the Friends of Northwest Hatcheries banner on the right and it will take you right to the registration page. Just select the time that you want to come and you will get confirmation back in your inbox. It's just that easy and I hope to see you and your family at the event. The next important date is Wednesday, June 8th. That's when I am having the next seminar at Town Ford in East Wenatchee. Starting at 6 p.m. the seminar will feature Lou Nevsimal of Coulee Playland on Banks Lake. He will be giving everyone the details on the planned draw down of Banks Lake and how it will affect Banks Lake, Lake Roosevelt and Rufus Woods Reservoir. All appearing will be Shane Magnuson to talk about the Icicle River and summer-run salmon.

Fishing Magician - New and exciting fisheries

There are a couple of new and very exciting fisheries pending here in Central Washington. Starting as early as August 1st, there could be an opening of fishing for triploid rainbow trout above Brewster. As most anglers know, there was a huge release of triploids from the net pens on Rufus Woods Reservoir, and combined with the spill of water over Chief Joseph Dam a significant number of them are showing up in the Columbia below Bridgeport.

Fishing Magician Report - June 22nd

I've made a couple more trips up to Rufus Woods and have had good fishing both times. Not the red hot fishing I had at the net pens on my first trip, but my fishing buddies and I came home with a cooler so heavy it was hard to lift.

Fishing Magician: Big summer runs

Summer run salmon are pouring up the Columbia River, and although heavy flows continue to hamper angler's efforts, there are both Chinook and sockeye being caught. Many are still making it to the big eddy below Wanapum Dam, their destination, but fishing in the Wenatchee area is very much worth a try.
