Title: Southern Berkshire Ice Conditions
Post by: bogtrotter on Mar 08, 2018, 03:48 PM: I generally do most of my fishing in and around northern Berkshire County, but thought I'd like a change of pace this weekend.

Could anyone point me to any lakes/ponds in southern Berkshire County (like Buel, Center Pond, Goose Pond) that still have fishable ice?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I bet they are also covered in about 40 inches of snow. I think I'm calling it quits. I might go do some scouting Saturday afternoon. If nothing is safe out your way then I'm done for the year.

Jon let me know. I'm always game for some piking. Got some bait left that I need to get rid of.

It seems that pike, unless persued in open water is out of the question. Which is moot because usually right about now as they should be spawning.
