J,
I drive by there atleast twice a day , the west river that is, down by Middlesex, I haven't seen anyone ice fishing it yet but closer to spring they fish it pretty hard right at the state launch out of 245. Lots of gills crappies and perch it usually has pretty good ice into the spring just keep an eye on it. There's a bait shop just up the road on 245 "The Bait Barn" they have minnows, spikes, waxworms, jigs etc.
