Moon Lake (south slope Uintas) - For those interested, Moon Lake is totally capped and looks fishable. I didn't drill any holes, but it looks good. The lake level is coming up slowly so there is some but very little water on the edges. Most years there is too much snow by the time it caps, requiring snowmobiles to access the lake. Access is good right now. There are some snowpacked areas on the road in the shade, but otherwise access is as good as it gets this time of year.
Update - BIGbites and I fished Moon Lake on Saturday Dec. 10 for a couple hours. We fished near the Fish Creek inlet near the southern end of the lake. The ice was 7" thick and solid. Very easy walking with only a skiff of snow on the ice. The fishing was slow as usual. We only managed to ice three fish. 13" Rainbow, 11" Brook and 11" Splake.
