Otsego Lake and the Hall of Fame
I always suggest to my friends that they combine a trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame with a fishing trip. In my opinion, Otsego Lake at Cooperstown is one of the most underfished lakes I have been on. I usually go for bass and Otsego has largemouth, smallmouth and a variety known as Otsego bass. I have also hooked yellow perch, pickerel, walleye, and numerous other varieties. Atlantic Salmon, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Brook Trout and Lake Trout are also there in abundance. The lake is a manageable size for a small boat, about 9 miles long and 1 to 1 1/2 mile across but quite deep at 160 feet in some spots.
