I think that was Deal Lake. Shadow Lake had a collapse at the spillway and lost a lot of its water to the salt.

In my youth I cut my teeth with freshwater fishing at Shadow Lake from shore at the Spillway. Only managed a few perch and some dink bass but I did see some of those big channel cats another post mentions get pulled out of there.

Was never aware of any ramp. A rooftop launch would great, and fun to revisit that lake. Is Poricy Pond around the corner still open to fishing? Not sure why I think that its not.
