Halfmoon Lake in the northern part of Flathead County is a lake in Montana.
The recorded size of Halfmoon Lake is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Halfmoon Lake include Black Crappie, Brook Trout, Kokanee Salmon, Largemouth Bass, Longnose Sucker, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch.
Near the calm side of a rocky point, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
Across the first edge of the old channel, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
Around the outer drop of a narrow arm, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
Beside the clearer side of a small bay, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
Beside the firm edge of a quiet pocket, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
Across the hard edge of the nearest cove, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
Around the outer drop of a creek mouth, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
