Moon Lake is a lake in Pennsylvania, near Luzerne County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Moon Lake covers 46.93 acres in Luzerne County. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Moon Lake, so neither should be estimated from a similarly named lake.
At 46.93 acres, Moon Lake is small enough to fish methodically but large enough for one shoreline to differ from another.
Fish reported from Moon Lake include black crappie, bluegill, brown bullhead, largemouth bass, longear sunfish, and yellow perch. Rainbow trout are also stocked in Moon Lake.
A spinnerbait, square-bill and Texas rig cover the most useful largemouth situations on Moon Lake.
Crappie anglers on Moon Lake should count the jig down beside brush until the holding depth becomes clear. A small float, light line and a piece of worm are enough for Moon Lake bluegill around cover. Perch anglers on Moon Lake should stay mobile until several bites come from the same depth.
Use a nightcrawler on a light bottom rig for Moon Lake bullheads, especially in quiet water after sunset.
Let wind and water clarity choose the starting bank, then follow that bank until the bottom or cover changes on Moon Lake. Then compare natural weed edges, shaded shoreline and changes from soft to firm bottom around Moon Lake before searching the middle.
A sunny spring afternoon can pull Moon Lake fish toward dark bottom, wood and new vegetation. Summer fish in Moon Lake may feed shallow at dawn before settling beside cover or deeper structure. Cooling water can bring Moon Lake fish back to points and banks where bait gathers.
