Largemouth Bass
If you're heading to Cooperstown, Pennsylvania, for largemouth bass, you're in for a treat. This region boasts several excellent freshwater locations, with Justus Lake in Two Mile Run County Park being a local hotspot. The lake's structure, including submerged timber and weed beds, provides ideal habitat for bass. Spring (late April-May) is prime time, as bass move into the shallows to spawn. Fall (September-October) can also be productive as they feed heavily before winter. For bank access, Two Mile Run County Park offers plenty of shoreline. If you're bringing a boat, the park has a well-maintained boat launch. Be aware that Justus Lake has a 20 horsepower limit. A local tip: try fishing the edges of the lily pads with weedless lures or Texas-rigged worms. The bass in Justus Lake tend to be aggressive, and you might even hook into a trophy-sized fish. Remember to check the latest Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission regulations before you go!
