Lemon stressed, "this is all still the talking stages."

The state Department of Environmental Conservation is talking to the city of Syracuse about the state taking over a stretch of property at the southwestern end of Skaneateles Lake and making it a shoreline fishing spot open to the public.

"There's some concrete docks there that stretch out into the water. It's shallow at that end but the docks will let you get out abnd fish in about 16 feet of water," said David Lemon, the DEC's regional fisheries manager for Region 7.

Lemon said the land includes "a couple of hundred feet of shoreline," and that the DEC would build a small parking lot. "There would be limited parking, probably for about six vehicles," he said.

Lemon stressed, "this is all still the talking stages."
