Looking for some lakes/ponds in Mass

aqualung

I live in northern CT, 15 minutes from Springfield.
I was looking for a little help in finding some places to do some ice fishing.
I target mostly Northern Pike, Walleye, Crappie, White and yellow perch. For the most part in CT I have a bit of a drive to get to any decent fishing here anyway, figured why not drive a little North and give that a shot. Any info would be appreciated.

This is the web link for masswildlife pond maps. This will give you an idea of whats around Spingfield. Good luck.

Thanks Mikeyc, I will check it out.
Still would be nice to have a little input from people that may actually have fished the area, general info, not the GPS coordinates Wink

Not many people on this site that are from that area. At least with the maps and write ups u can get an idea of accsses and what the pond is holding.

I suppose you're right, The map feature is an awesome feature, I really use it a lot.

It is a help. I printed out a bunch of ponds an put them in a binder. It will be good for ice cus you can get an idea of what depth your at.
