This is a summary based on available information.

DNR and fishing resources list panfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass as key species in Meta, with additional opportunities for other warm‑water fish. With a maximum depth around 25 feet and good clarity, fish use weedlines, points, and modest breaks rather than extreme basin depths, making the lake approachable for smaller boats. Bass anglers often work the outer edges of weeds and scattered rock with plastics, swim jigs, and topwaters in low light, while panfish gather in shallower pockets and along inside turns. For cabin owners, Meta offers a user‑friendly fishery where you can regularly find action close to shore, then refine patterns on specific weed edges and breaks as you get to know the lake.
