Luna Lake, Washington: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  This water sits in Whatcom County, Washington. Height above sea level is 4,879 feet. About 17 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight.

No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Luna Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Reported across Whatcom County: sockeye salmon, Coho salmon, white sturgeon and Chum salmon. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Luna Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 21°F in December and 53°F in August. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early May. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about mid November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Luna Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Wiley Lake is 2.4 miles off. Check the position at Luna Lake before loading the car.
