What else would you like to see me write about this time of year? Send your suggestions to [email protected].

</p>

<p>Do you believe this fantastic weather? Wow, it really is spring!</p>

<p>Here's what I'm writing about (with the help of my Syracuse University Intern Sarah Taddeo) this week:</p>

<p>- Bullhead fishing on Oneida Lake<br />- The walleye season opener Saturday and the annual Cicero-Mattydale Lions Club Walleye Derby on Oneida Lake<br />- the DEC's recent deer harvest report from last fall's hunting season<br />- Kate Collins, CNY entertainment manager, writes about her experiece at last weekend's Women in Nature Outdoor Skills seminar at the Otisco Rod and Gun Club.<br />- Highlights from the Oneida Lake Association meeting this week</p>

<p><strong>Also:</strong></p>

<p>- So, based on data from Meteorologist Dave Eichorn..just when is the best time (as far as warm temperatures and lack of rain) to take an outdoors summer vacation in Central New York? (<em>You might be surprised)</em></p>

<p>- The early spring brown trout bite on Lake Ontario.</p>

<p>- An update on the Governor's "gag order" on the DEC.</p>

<p>- Commercial gill net fishing for perch on Lake Ontario There's still a few individuals who are licensed by the state to do this and I hope to get out with one of them soon.</p>

<p>- A couple in Tully who allows hikes on their property with (I'm not making this up) alpacas.</p>

<p>- The great blue heron rookery up at the Sterling Nature Center.</p>

<p>- Volunteers who spruce up local hiking trails this time of year..</p>

<p><strong>ANYTHING ELSE READERS OF THIS REPORT WOULD LIKE TO SEE ME WRITE ABOUT? </strong><br />The effectiveness of this report is two-fold. First, it lets readers know what's coming up story-wise. It also allows readers a chance to affect coverage and provide sources for upcoming stories. Bottom line: Keep in touch and give input.
