Syracuse.com - Figura writing about fishing at Fair Haven Beach State Park and kids and their toddler poles

[HuntingNY-News]

I'm also writing about the fact that tours of the white deer population at the Seneca Army Depot in Romulus will resume this fall.

Peter Chen/The Post-StandardJames Wells, of Owego, shows his granddaughter, Cassidy, 9, of Candor, the bullhead he caught in the pond at Fair Haven Beach State Park.

I Just got back from 8 days of camping at Lower Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks. Had great weather and some great fishing.

Here's what's on tap for this week's Outdoors Pages in The Post-Standard:

Friday:

Main piece: Another in the series of Shoreline Hot Spots. This time I profile Fair Haven Beach State Park.

Column: New fishing regs announced. Among them: there will now be year-round bass fishing allowed in Oneida Lake.

Sunday:

Main piece: I asked for it, and I got them-- a number of cute kid shots of them with their fish .. or just fishing with their toddler (Snoopy, Barbie, etc.) poles.

Column: They will once again be tours this fall of the Seneca Army Depot and its white deer population -- plus a few other odds and ends.
