The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has approved a six year fish stocking program for Moon Lake, beginning in May, 2015. This program calls for the planting of up to 4600 splake to be planted each year through the end of 2020. Splake is a hybrid cross between a brook trout and a lake trout, is fairly easy to catch, and is a tasty treat to eat. The DNR document reviewing this program is located in the tab labeled “Fish Management” which is the far right tab on the main page. The document includes some interesting historical information about Moon Lake.
Many thanks go to John Sick and Dale Sharpee for working with the DNR to get this program initiated.
