The Fishin' Magician: A good day at Rocky Ford Creek

I mentioned in an earlier report that I was planning at trip to Rocky Ford Creek, and I made it on Thursday. My fishing buddy Tom Barlett and I picked a perfect November day. It was in the 40s with very little wind and there wasn't hardly anyone else fishing at the Ford that day.

The Fishin' Magician: With Stuart Hurd at Rufus Woods

I got up to Rufus Woods Reservoir and fished with Stuart Hurd and a few of his buddies. Of course I picked the coldest day yet, but we had a great time in spite of the freezing weather. We put in above the dam at the Corps of Engineers launch and trolled up lake. We found plenty of fish along the west shore and even out in the middle and never got to the State Park.

Reader upset with pet's death

It was with horror that I read about the deputy sheriff killing Slyder last Sunday, Jan. 24. I have worked with Slyder’s owner, Nick, at Frederick’s Jewelry for several years. Slyder was at the store every single day that Nick was working. There was never a gentler dog. Everyone who entered the store, from toddler to oldster, adored him. He and Nick were bosom buddies who understood each other implicitly. Nick walked Slyder several times a day in the downtown area. There was never a problem with other animals on the street nor in the store. I am heartsick that this happened. I hope the Columbia Basin Herald will follow up and publish all the facts regarding Slyder’s death.

Fishin' Magician: Dave Graybill

I had heard that the perch bite was on at Potholes Reservoir, so I called my buddy Brian Nielson, of BJs Guide Service, to see if he wanted to give it a try.

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.

Getting Real About the Bathroom: Tips and Resources for Managing IBS-D

(NAPSI)—For most people, going to the bathroom is a routine and uneventful experience that requires little planning. Yet for as many as 15 million Americans with Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea (IBS-D), trying to predict when they’ll need the bathroom again is a daily source of anxiety.

The Fishin' Magician: Steelhead off the mouth of the Entiat

I had some fun steelhead fishing late last week. My first trip was with my fishing buddy Rollie Schmitten, off the mouth of the Entiat River on the Columbia. We had just a couple of hours and we had some success here last year.

The Fishin' Magician: Good places for ice fishing

I told you all about my trip up to Fish Lake. There is plenty of ice but it was really sloppy on top. You need a good pair of boots if you plan to fish there. I got a report on Roses Lake recently. There is ice on the lake, and there are signs that people have been out on it, but I don't recommend it just yet. We need a little colder weather before I would step out on Roses. My buddy tried fishing off the end of the dock there without success.

The Fishin' Magician: Up and down the Columbia River

If you haven't been down to White Bluffs, the Hanford Reach or Wanapum better make plans. Fishing for fall kings is in full swing on the stretch of the Columbia River. I spent a morning there last week with my buddy Shane Magnuson, of Upper Columbia Guide Service. He had two clients that were willing to have me tag along with my video camera. We fished for about three hours and had only one fish in the boat by the time I had to leave for a meeting in Moses Lake.

The Fishin' Magician: Trip to Fish lake

I know everyone is thinking about getting ready for steelhead fishing, and so am I. I did want to take advantage of one of the sunny days last week and make another trip up to Fish Lake. My buddy Tom Bartlett and I met at the Cove at 2 and headed out.

The Fishin' Magician: Walleye on Moses Lake, Bass on Banks Lake

I finally got a chance to fish for walleye on Moses Lake, and had a great time. The bite, which is not unusual with walleye fishing, was sporadic, but my two fishing buddies and I had six nice fish in the live well by mid afternoon. We had a double on our first pass at the flat above Connelly Park. Hit two more fish on the corner further up lake. Picked up one more where the houses are at the northern end of Moses Lake, and picked up the last fish trolling home.

The Fishin' Magician: Ice Fishing on Fish Lake

I have been checking around the region to see if there is ice forming on our area lakes. I have a buddy coming here around the end of the month and I want to take him up to Fish Lake, drill some holes and catch some perch. It sounds like it will be close. There are still patches of open water on Fish Lake. We'll see. There is enough ice for anglers to get out on Patterson Lake, near Winthrop.
