I never saw the cement ramp at Grey's until 2 years ago, I think. It was really quite a surprise. It was built when the reservoir must have been maintained at a lower level. You won't see it agin for a while as high as we are right now. It's higher than in a usual spring run off right now. What will that mean for SFCR fisheries, hopefully for the perch and crappie that they will get a good spawn next year.
I am sure the walleye would like more fry and the trout should enjoy more water and better temps. Not sure about the crawdads and maybe the bass will go beyond the 11 7/8" and become legal fro harvest.
Anyways back to the conversation about another ramp. Actually as the water drops there is more and more areas to launch your boats even some larger ones the deep V's would probably be the who need to be concerned, but the sandy banks usually are firm enough and some have plenty of rock mixed in to launch safely.
As for fishin There are many good spots as tyou go towards the dam, the fingers usually shallow up enough and the rock points hold some nice fish as well.
Probally the biggest concern would be road maintenace and parking. Also establishing another ramp and parking would cut into the the campers who fill up the shore line.
