Join Friends of Rogers and the Chenango County Cornell Cooperative Extension from 10 am until 4 pm on September 24 for a ‘Float Fishing Trip’ along the Chenango River.
Suitable for both beginners and experienced kayakers alike, the program will float from Rogers Center to the North Norwich DEC fishing access. Bait, fishing license, and pole are responsibility of each person. Participants may use a Rogers Center kayak or bring their own. Light snacks will be provided on the river.
“We are very excited to partner with Cooperative Extension in offering this new program,” said Simon Solomon, Friends of Rogers executive director. “Float fishing allows anglers the chance to target a wide variety of fish.”
Boaters must be at least 13 years of age, and if under age 18, must be accompanied by an adult. Space is limited, so advance reservations are required by noon on September 23. Not-yet-member registration options are: canoe (space for two boaters) $30, kayak $25, and personal vessel $20.
