The "Fishin' Magician" Dave Graybill's Weekly Report

I made another trip to Banks Lake recently. This time I was looking for smallmouth bass. I have been going to Banks for years, but I hadn't done a Fishing TV show on the smallmouth fishing there. Joining me on this excursion was Joe Arballo and his wife Roberta. Joe has taken me along on several jaunts to Banks Lake, and has really taught me a lot about bass fishing over the years. Apparently he has also taught his wife quite a bit about bass fishing, too, because she caught the first fish and the biggest of the day. We started out north of Steamboat Rock and fished a couple of the canyons there. We were into fish the whole time. Roberta was using the smoke pearl blue Senko and never changed all day. She didn't need to. She caught fish on it everywhere we went. Joe and I experimented and caught fish on a variety of lures, from Hula Grubs to crank baits. We ended up fishing the shore that is just south of Barker Flats, and that's where Roberta caught her big boy. It was a ton of fun, and I want to remind everyone to pound down the liquids in the hot weather.


In a previous report I mentioned that there is an all-time record return of sockeye salmon coming up the Columbia River this year, and that was good news for those enjoy fishing for them at Lake Wenatchee. A season on Lake Wenatchee for the third year in a row is very likely. We will have to wait until enough fish have crossed over Tumwater Dam for the announcement, but prospects are very high for a good, long season this year. Anglers are already reaping the benefits of this bumper crop of sockeye, though. Salmon anglers fishing below Wells Dam and off the mouth of the Okanogan River at Brewster are having a hard time keeping them off! One guide mentioned that he is even catching sockeye on his salmon rigs when fishing 30 feet deep. Those who are targeting the sockeye are having a blast catching their six-fish limits in less than two hours of fishing time. I am anxious to get in on this myself. I am busy getting some Fishing TV shows out of the way. Then I will be able to get out and fill the freezer with these prized sockeye!


Anglers can keep six salmon daily, three Chinook adults and one wild. Check the regulations with the State Department of Fish & Wildlife before you go at www.wdfw.wa.gov.
