Moon Lake in Bossier Parish: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Moon Lake lies in Bossier Parish, Louisiana. Height above sea level is 177 feet. It runs to roughly 34 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. A shoreline of some 1.8 miles keeps the choices simple. On size it sits at the modest end of our Bossier Parish list. The town to know is Red Chute, 6 miles out. Shreveport sits 8.7 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Moon Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Moon Lake fishes better once you know its edges. Sunken banks and old ditches show as changes in surface texture.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 82°F; the cold one sits at 45°F. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. The season on Moon Lake rarely departs from it. Rain lifts the level and moves fish about.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. If the gate is shut, Flag Lake at 3.8 miles is the nearest alternative. For Moon Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
