A silvery, herring-like fish found in large rivers and lakes. Related to Goldeye. Occasionally caught on small lures while targeting other species in the St. Clair River and Lake Erie.
No stocking records are on file for Mooneye.
This is common for several reasons: this species may reproduce naturally and not require stocking (e.g. Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike), it may be managed under a different program not tracked here, or records may predate our database. For the most current data, check the Michigan DNR Stocking Database directly.
