Fishing Trip Tragedy

A father-son fishing trip on Eagle Lake has turned to tragedy for an American family.
Dryden OPP say a 62-year-old man drowned yesterday afternoon after being thrown into the lake during windy conditions.
Police say his 35-year-old son jumped into the water to help but the waves pulled them away from the boat.
Two fishermen rescued the pair after the son was unable to pull his father back to shore.
Howard Hartsock of Illinois was pronounced dead by emergency personnel at Temple Bay Lodge.
The man was unable to swim and he was not wearing a lifejacket.
