Drove over to the lake around 1:00 to get in a couple hours of fishing on a gorgeous day only to find a tragedy had taken place. Tons of first responders and water rescue personnel on site but not much hope. See link for story. Got to respect the water at all times. Prayers and thoughts for the family of fellow fisherman. www.dailylocal.com/article/DL/20160915/NEWS/160919879

just checked for update on the net and apparently the body has not been recovered nor has he been identified. i suspect they will/are resuming the search today and will lock down the lake. in any event (and this is a personal choice) i will not be out on the lake today out of respect for our fellow fisherman and will continue to keep his family in my thoughts. respect the water - as soon as you don't, it will remind you why you must.

VERY sad news! Hopefully they can find him soon to put him to rest properly. I wouldn't have thought there would be that much current in the lake to move him elsewhere but I guess the water is still pretty murky there right now so that is why they are having difficulty finding him. I know the spot in the pic very well and I honestly didn't think the water was very deep off of those shoreline weeds. Many prayers to his family and friends!

Checked with the park this afternoon. The lake and ramp remain open, however they had no recovery yet. Think I will take a pass and let this resolve. Tight lines and as always - be safe as you can on the water !!!!!!

I was out this evening after 5:00 and saw no activity, search wise. Not even a cop so I'm thinking they found body.

A death notice and funeral director was printed in the paper over the weekend.

I did hear from a friend of mine (who has friends on the search and rescue team) that he was told that they DID find the man's body in the lake with the using of divers and dogs.
