SHERBURNE – Join the Chenango County Cornell Cooperative Extension and Friends of Rogers for a ‘Float Fishing Trip’ along the Chenango River from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on September 24.

An event suitable for both beginners and experienced kayakers alike, the program will float from Rogers Center off of Route 80 in Sherburne to the North Norwich DEC fishing access. Participants are responsible for providing their own bait, pole, and fishing license. Attendees are invited to use a Rogers Center kayak or to bring one of their own. Light snacks will be provided to participants 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 must be accompanied by an adult if under age 18. Space is limited, so reservations in advance are required by noon on September 23. For non-members, registration options are: canoe (space for two boaters) $30, kayak $25, or personal vessel $20. For members, registration options are: canoe (space for two boaters) $25, kayak $20, or personal vessel $15. The meet-up location for the excursion is the main parking lot at Rogers Center.
