| I'm just looking for a nice family-friendly lake to take my friends fishing to. I'm from near Wethersfield so somewhere in that general area. Any kind of fish is desired, except sunfish. Don't mind a 15-20 minute drive. Thank you for any help. |

Boat? Canoe? Land Locked?
in Wethersfield, there is a small pond near Reservoir Rd and that road that runs out to the Pike near Walgreens/Bertucci's. good bass used to be in there. there is a dirt road that leads in. Ive lugged canoes and kayaks in there.
Weth Cove is always a good spot, bring $20 if ya wanna launch a boat... good cats in the channel, watch out for boat traffic tho.
20mins from Wethersfield in farmington, (exit 37 off 84 ), you have Batterson. that should start ya out. |

| Just fish from shore. Batterson is a spot I have wanted to try and I just might as everyone seems to like it there. I do enjoy the Cove although never get much size there. I think the place off Reservoir Road is the 1860 Reservoir and I have been wanting to try it there as well. Thanks for your help. |

I have fished wethersfield cove a few times and never managed to get a bite from that place, I tried batterson's its a pretty good spot, Phil(PECO) fishes there often, said its best fished with a boat or a yak.

| I do not own a boat so I only fish from shore. Hopefully Batterson has good shore fishing. |

I would say it has ample shore fishing area, when i was there i wasn't able to get any bites from shore, now that I have a kayak, i may try to go back there in the future.
