Lake Metacomet, Belchertown
Just saw on the news - a couple of Ice fisherman went through the ice today at Lake Metacomet. They had to be rescued by the fire dept. Lake Metacomet is a small, relatively shallow body of water. If the ice is not safe there I can't help but think it isn't safe anywhere in central Mass. I already had one swim this year and don't plan on another. Putting my ice fishing gear away tonight. Those die hards out there, please be careful. I didn't think it was going to happen to me but it did.
thats a bummer!! i was hoping to get one more trip up there with my buddy but looks like thats not gonna happen
Time to gear up for open water fishing.
