Chenango Lake Perch Derb postponed to Feb. 18
NEW BERLIN – The warm weather has stopped the ice from thickening on Chenango Lake and with mild weather forecasted, the Oxford Lions Club has postponed the Perch Derby from this Saturday to Feb. 18.
NBT Bank is sponsoring a $1000 prize for the first perch caught with a 2012 tag. As in the past, if no tagged perch is caught, the $1,000 will be raffled off to registered anglers only. Preferred Mutual Insurance, New Berlin, is sponsoring the second $500 prize for the lucky angler catching a second perch with a 2012 tag. Also, $150 will be paid for the largest perch and $150 for the largest pickerel caught during the day, compliments of Visions Federal Credit Union of Norwich.
Registration begins at 6 a.m. and continues until 1 p.m. The $5 registration fee and all other proceeds from the derby will be used to fund the many community projects that the Oxford Lions Club supports such as eye examinations and eyeglasses for those in need.
“Unfortunately we had to postpone the event for everyone’s safety however the ice is still thick and on track to be able to hold the annual event on Feb. 18,” said Lion Michael La Croce. “We have had a number of people pre-register for the event already and in the event we have to cancel the derby the $1,000 prize sponsored by NBT Bank will still be raffled off to all pre-registered anglers.”
