Moon Lake Fishing in Jefferson County, Washington

• Overview

  Jefferson County in Washington is where Moon Lake sits. The coast is 0.8 miles away. The water measures roughly 2 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Our Jefferson County list holds plenty of bigger water. Start from Port Hadlock-Irondale, 3.1 miles down the road. Everett is the closest city, 29 miles away. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Moon Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Reported across Jefferson County: Coho salmon, rainbow trout, cutthroat trout and Chum salmon. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. On Moon Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 62°F; the cold one sits at 39°F. Spring and autumn are the strongest, but nothing is truly closed. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. The season on Moon Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. A phone call first saves an afternoon. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Sunset Lake, 0.2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position on Moon Lake before loading the car.
