Terry Snyder, 58, was a smidgen shaken up, but not injured and his plans were temporarily put on hold.
“I’m trying to fish the Susquehanna from the New York verge upon to the Chesapeake Bay,” he said.

Snyder estimated he was in the water holding on to his boat for 30 minutes as it drifted downstream in the medial of the river. Two life vests and fishing gear were underneath the boat
