Rumor I heard was that the DEEP approached Stratford to try to negotiate a deal allowing launching while Devon was closed. DEEP was unable to close a deal with Stratford....why? The same rumor has it that Stratford wanted a relaxation of wetlands procedure for some land in town and the DEEP was unwilling. Of course, all this might just be horse puckey. Nonetheless, we are out of a launch for some time.
When those speedy quick construction guys get done with the New Haven I-95 Quinnipiac River Bridge, send them over next to the Housy I-95 bridge and that bridge will get done ASAP! MANY of us will be dead before we ever see that boat ramp/fishing area open again. The housy bridge construction guys sit under the bridge in lawn chairs and have a grill going while sunning themselves, I kid you not, I was THERE talking to them asking them and asking them if I could fish there, everyone was in favor of me doing that except one supervisor, too bad, I could have caught them a nice bass for the grill like they wanted!!
Progress My fat ass ,this is a farse if you ask me we get nothing to ficilitate launching on the river if this was being done up the line in Stamford they would find a way, Sorry but c'mon already 11+ years...wtf. Yes I am going to buy a permit at birdseye,it's not the money ,heck $125 is well worth it at that ramp . it's principle but it still burns my bunns.
