Ice fishing in western MA

[Mark Barlow]

Looking for a great place to icefish in western MA. with lodging nearby. We are looking for pike, musky, and bass. I know it's early to think about ice fishing , but the goatboys are planning another outing and we want to be able to catch some nice fish. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

the only place i've ice fished out west was in a tourney on Cheshire Reservoir,  Its got the fish your looking for I know that for sure and its three lakes your best bet would most defanitly be the first lake from what i know.

pontoosuc, in pittsfield would be a good bet.  its well known for producing the biggest muskies in the state  (it definitely gets crowded though, so showing up early wouldn't hurt).  pittsfield is a goodsized city (for the berkshires anyway), im sure youd be able to find somewhere to stay
