Obligatory Friday gun stuff!
This coming Father's day, why not spend a day fishing. You never know what you might catch.

Scott Fletcher of Otego said he caught more than he planned when he went fishing with his stepchildren Sunday afternoon.

"I caught a gun in the river," Fletcher said Wednesday.

State police at Oneonta said the gun was a .38-caliber revolver. It appears to be a police-style revolver, troopers said, but it’s not clear how long it had been in the river or how it got there.

"It was pretty much full of mud," Fletcher said. "It was still in the holster."

Fletcher said he was fishing at the Wells Bridge access site on the Susquehanna River. Fletcher’s stepchildren had been arguing about who was going to use the fishing pole, he said, and he decided to cast it to make things easier. But Fletcher said the line got stuck. Fletcher said he thought it was a stick — until the catch started to come out of the water.

"That’s not a stick," Fletcher said of his reaction. "That’s a gun." "Nobody throws a perfectly good pistol in the river," he said.

Troopers said the gun was rusty and had been in the river for a while. The serial numbers on the revolver were worn, troopers said, but it might be possible to send it out to be traced if necessary.

Unfortunately, Fletcher said, the gun was the only thing the group caught that afternoon.
