The giant was the largest legally caught 'lunge ever taken in Canadian waters. Pike thrive throughout the river. Every weedy bay or shoal harbours healthy populations of these scrappy battlers, which can at times turn out to be true heavyweights ranging upwards of 25 pounds. Pike fishing is especially hectic during the summer when walleye and muskie have headed for deeper water. The entire shoreline of the river is populated by pike.
Smallmouth bass provide another fishery that is almost completely overlooked by anglers.
The rocky shoals and points of Moon River Bay, Blackstone Harbour, Port Rawson, and the North Channel, to name a few, are all alive with these spunky little fighters. Largemouth bass also inhabit the Moon and provide an excellent summer fishery. Any shallow, weedy bay can pay off in action from these top-water attackers. Panfish, including bluegill and perch, thrive in the Moon. Whitefish also inhabit this waterway, but most are taken during winter near Wood Bay by ice fishermen jigging for walleye.
