Location Lake Koocanusa

An 85yr old male was reported missing after not returning back to his camp after a day fishing on Lake Koocanusa.  When the call came in it was too dark to start a search on the lake and so at first light team members were sent by boat and helicopter to search an area where it was believed the man mght have been fishing at.  The man was located and after an RCMP boat team made contact with the man he was ok and had intended to spend the night out comping and had not informed his friends of this.
