Water quality and habitat is fair to poor in Meyers Lake and this negatively impacts fish populations. Fish population surveys completed in 2014 found abundant black bullhead along with black crappie, bigmouth buffalo, common carp and white sucker. Previous renovations of the lake have provided short-term improvements in the fishery, but flood waters and connection to the Cedar River during 2008 and 2010 have allowed undesireable species (e.g., black bullheads and common carp) to re-enter the fishery.

Some limitations may apply for young children and pregnant women. Here’s a Fish Consumption Fact Sheet from the Iowa DNR and the Iowa Dept. of Public Health for more information. Here is a list of current fish consumption advisories for Iowa lakes and rivers.
