Vulcan RCMP along with search and rescue crews will continue the search for a missing angler on McGregor Lake Monday, October 2.

Around 11 a.m. Saturday, September 30 a boat carrying four men out fishing capsized and sank in high wind and waves.

Passing boaters were able to pick up two of the men, while another was able to swim to safety and call for help.

The fourth has yet to be located.

Search and rescue efforts were started immediately but were suspended around 9:30 Saturday night due to darkness,

The search picked up again on Sunday morning but high wind and waves has meant the search on the lake itself has been suspended while a search of the lake's shore continues.

The capsized boat has not been found either.
