• Where to Fish on Halfmoon Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Fish Halfmoon Lake to its features, not to its size. If bites stop, change depth before you change everything else.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 82°F at the top of summer and 44°F at the bottom of winter. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Expect Halfmoon Lake to follow that timing.

Old River sits 1.9 miles off and takes the overflow. Confirm before you fish Halfmoon Lake.
