<p>Here's what's on tap for this week's Outdoors pages in The Post-Standard:</p>

<p><strong>FRIDAY:</strong></p>

<p><strong>Main piece:</strong> We profile the Sylvan Beach canal in the on-going series of CNY Shoreline Hot Spots for fishing. </p>

<p><strong>Column:</strong>Update on legislation that would allow deer hunters in Cayuga County to use a rifle, along with other matters.</p>

<p><br /><strong>SUNDAY:<br />Main piece:</strong> We go fly fishing for carp in the Old Erie Canal near Chittenango. Believe me, it's quite a challenge doing this with now, clear water. The fish are easily spooked and you have to cast your nymph right in front of their mouths if you have any chance of hooking one.</p>

<p><strong>Column:</strong> Precede to upcoming Bassmaster Elite Series tournament set for Aug. 23-26; plus a father and son talk about how they both got a bear with a crossbow during a spring hunting trip.</p>
