About Moses Lake

Tucked into Washington, United States, Moses Lake is a reservoir that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Moses Lake should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a reservoir like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques

• For Smallmouth bass

  Focus your fishing efforts around rocky structures, ledges, and areas with current, as smallmouth bass prefer these habitats.

• For Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

• For Walleye

  Focus your efforts around dawn and dusk, as walleye are typically more active during these low-light periods; use a slow, deliberate retrieve, as walleye often prefer a subtle presentation.
