1137.0. "Boat ramp gone on the CONN. River?" by CRBOSS::NERKER () Tue May 16 1989 14:26

    The boat ramp on the Conn River was under about 6 ft of water
    below the dam at Holyoke. The river was rippen as well. Wondering
    if this happens all the time with no affect to the ramp (remember
    it as blacktop)or is it good bye ramp and no more boat launching
    without a 4 wheel drive vehicle?

1137.1Everything's under waterSA1794::CUZZONESFishbreathTue May 16 1989 16:379
    
    The current (pun-intended) condition is not unusual for spring although
    not usually this late.  I haven't launched from that particular
    ramp (are you refering to South Hadley ?) but the Agawam and other
    ramps I do use take a licking and keep on ticking ...  so not to
    woory about it.  What I want to know is how all this late flooding
    is affecting the shad run ... I haven't heard boo yet.

    Its the one off exit 5 on Mass Pike..not sure if its Chicopee or
    what...  This past weekend is when I encountered the dissapointing
    vanishing ramp...so we fished for about an hour with only 1 shad
    caught. From what I could tell, the locals werent getting too many
    because of the fast water...with the receding waters, (if it doesnt
    rain again) things should be considerably better this weekend...
1137.3Whole lotta water goin' downSA1794::CUZZONESFishbreathTue May 16 1989 23:046
    
    I stopped by the Chicopee ramp this evening and yes, it's under
    water ... the turnaround is under water.  There were trailers in
    the lot, though, so I think things are ok.

    Does anyone know the conditions of the ramp or water level by the
    OXbow on the Ct. river.  Is the water up or down.  I will be heading
    there this weekend for the first time ever.
    
    
    THanks in advance
