Fishing:
Moon Lake is a productive warmwater lake. Northern pike are very abundant with fish up to 29 inches reported. Tiger muskellunge do well in Moon Lake. Tigers up to 40 inches have been reported. Like many very productive waters, gamefish may be challenging to catch in this lake because natural food, in the form of smaller prey fish, is very abundant. Moon Lake is stocked with tiger muskellunge and walleye.
