This is a summary based on available information.

Metonga Lake is renowned for its walleye and smallmouth bass fishery, with lake trout, pike, and panfish also present and benefiting from cool, well‑oxygenated water. Anglers target rocky points, steep breaks, and offshore structure with jigs, live bait rigs, spoons, and deep‑running crankbaits, often focusing on low‑light periods and shoulder seasons when trophy fish are most active. Clear water demands natural colors, precise boat control, and sometimes long presentations, but rewards those who put in the time. Winter angling is also popular, with ice fishermen chasing walleyes and panfish across the expansive flats and breaks.
