Hi my name is Jason, I live in Lake Stevens.  l would really like to fish in the fish-in on the 18th.  I have been reading this site for a few weeks now at it seems like a real fun club to join. I hope to meet some new friends on the ramp Sat.  By the way has anyone ever caught a bass out of Stevens?  I know they are there, but I haven't caught one.

Is this a new rule?  The fish-in's have been open to non-members in the past, but on a one-time only basis.  We just had them sign a waiver for liability and insurance purposes.  I'd hate to think we're limiting opportunities for potential new members to check us out.

Jason - I live in Everett and have fished Stevens a few times.  It's tough nut to crack, but I've seen some huge bass in there!  My limited luck has been on green pumpkin bitsy jigs, smoke grubs, and jerkbaits.  It seems like an ideal topwater and crankbait lake, but danged if I can get them to hit one.

I'd like to fish Stevens, because I've heard it has some big Smallies. But I've also heard that the launch is weird, and that it's best to fish at night. Like on a full moon in June, July or August.
