Baxter's Guided Fishing 

If fishing in Lake Stevens is on your bucket list, look no further than Baxter's Guided Fishing. With Captain James at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Around here it's common to catch Cutthroat Trout, Salmon, Coho Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Sockeye Salmon, Yellow Perch, Sturgeon, Pink Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Chum Salmon, and more, depending on conditions.

During the trip you might be spinning, trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Also remember to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

You'll be dropping lines from a 24' Sportfishing with room for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's recommended to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
