American Anglers Survive A Scare On Lake Of The Woods

A few tense days for some American fishermen who got stranded on Lake of the Woods at the Canada-U.S. border.

RCMP say on July 31st, the two men went fishing, when their boat took on water and capsized.

They drifted for four hours on top of the boat, before landing on a remote island on the Canadian side.

They were stranded for three days with no food or water, until an RCMP patrol happened to spot them.

They had not been reported missing.

They were taken back to the States and treated for dehydration.
