While fall is a time for youth hunting activities, a number of sporting groups in New York are also reflecting on youth fishing events they held during the warm weather months.
At the Waterville Fish & Game Club, in Sangerfield in Oneida County, the club held it’s annual derby on July 30. Organizers feel it is one of the state’s oldest kids fishing events. It took place on Chitning Pond where 54 young anglers registered to fish. The top fish and top prize, with a 14 1⁄4-inch bullhead, went to Merritt Staring.

A group of 14 cadets from the United States Military Academy at West Point got a taste of fly-fishing during the latter part of the summer when they visited two of the state’s fish hatcheries.
The West Point Fly-Fishing club first toured the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s Rome fish hatchery on Sept. 2, with the hatchery manager, Steve Grabowski, who happens to also have a nephew currently attending West Point. Grabowski said the cadets wanted some guidance on fly-fishing the Mohawk River, which runs right by the hatchery.
