The North Saskatchewan River Mooneye are frantic, hyperactive fish and their impressive leaps and passionate fighting style has earned them the nickname "Freshwater Tarpon". Mooneye feed readily on terrestrial insects, and provide fine sport for a fly rod angler. These silver jewels of the North Saskatchewan River will also take small lures and natural baits with gusto. Deep highly compressed bodies and a prize fighters attitude have put the Mooneye on Alberta’s Sport fishing list.
