EDIT: This location has a boat ramp but it is ok at best. The path out to the lake is very small and there are a ton of weeds in the launching area. Be mindful to clear off your trailer so you dont get a ticket. This is the only location i have had this issue. Went here on sunday night for my 5th trip to this location and the fishing sucked again. Largest fish in the boat went 2 1/2 ish and there was only one at this size. The one sign to guide to the lake has been stolen/removed. There are a lot of great places to fish in CT and this is not it.
