Moon Lake is a reservoir in Utah, near Duchesne 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 is a reservoir in Duchesne County, Utah and covers about 773 acres and holds roughly 49,500 acre-feet.
The best plan at Moon Lake is to choose one arm or shoreline and work it from shallow cover to the first deep break.
Moon Lake is a high Uinta reservoir on the Lake Fork River with steep mountain sides, river influence, deep open water, and a mixed trout, kokanee, grayling, and whitefish community.
Search open water for kokanee, cast small spoons for rainbow and cutthroat trout, and drift small nymphs or bait for mountain whitefish near moving water.
The Moon Lake Project gives the reservoir about 49,500 acre-feet of total capacity. Its working storage and mountain inflow can change shoreline cover and water temperature.
Kokanee, splake, grayling, and trout do not all use the same depth. Make one river-influence pass and one open-water pass instead of trolling one line for every listed fish.
Tiger trout and walleye appear in stocking history. Those releases deserve a note, but they should not replace the confirmed cold-water fish plan.
Moon Lake’s steep mountain setting creates long periods of shade along one bank. During bright weather, compare that shade with the first open-water shelf; trout may use the darker edge while kokanee remain suspended away from shore. A short morning note makes that shade pattern easier to repeat.
The key difference is that moon Lake is a high Uinta reservoir on the Lake Fork River with steep mountain sides, river influence, deep open water, and a mixed trout, kokanee, grayling, and whitefish community.
For a first trip, search open water for kokanee, cast small spoons for rainbow and cutthroat trout, and drift small nymphs or bait for mountain whitefish near moving water.
Start here: do not let the largest depth or an old stocking note replace current water conditions, food, and the confirmed fish list.
