Moon Lake is a lake in Oregon, near Lane County.
Moon Lake in Lane County is a lake in Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Moon Lake, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Moon Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.
During the last hour of daylight near a shallow shelf after warm rain, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a calm morning near the edge of deeper water before changing areas, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a slow shoreline pass near a rocky edge with stable weather, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the first hour near a quiet corner before changing depth, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
During an overcast morning near a firm-bottom flat close to shade, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
During a slow shoreline pass near the mouth of a pocket with stable weather, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During the final pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change where food is present, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
