If you were looking to swim at Sylvan Beach, or take the boat out on Oneida Lake, you may want to wait. Sylvan Beach and Verona State Park have once again been closed to swimming due to algae blooms.

We've had a lot of extreme weather this month. After a quick taste of the sunshine and 90-degree temps, it was back to winter jackets and mittens the following weekend.

UPDATED 5/3/16 9:05 am   State Police have identified the victim as 23-year old Aaron Teater of Verona.

Just because we are about to head into fall doesn't mean you need to put all of your fishing gear away. According to anglers, outdoors writers and state Department of Environmental Conservation staffers, they have selected Oneida Lake as one of the top fall fishing spots.

Maybe you've had major success during the spring time catching walleye. Is your game a little short during the summer? You may need to adjust your style on Oneida Lake.

Every year Bassmaster ranks the top 100 lakes for bass fishing in the United States. There were several lakes in New York that made the list including one right her in Central New York. That lake is Oneida Lake.

Central New York is blessed with numerous streams, lakes and rivers, meaning a great place to be if you love to fish. Now, the Department of Environmental Conservation is urging anglers to steer clear of lake sturgeon to protect this endangered fish.
