Took a ride to check out the Bashan launch, sign at the access road says launch is closed. The new ramp is very nice, two lane concrete ribbed ramp, Jersey barriers to direct traffic and provide parking area for cars only. Large concrete dock along the lake side of the ramp and half the lot is paved.

Bad news, the channel to the main lake is still down 4-5 feet with even some dry spots. I'm no weather expert on snow and rain fall, but I can't see how this launch will even be ready to use next season. Will that mean bigger fish or just another CT lake with stunted growth finned swimmers?
