Still no sign of missing ice fisherman as search continues in Annapolis County, N.S.

There is still no sign of an ice fisherman reported missing in Belleisle, N.S., last week.

The RCMP confirmed Monday the search for the missing man is ongoing in Annapolis County.

“Over the weekend, RCMP Air Services and Underwater Recovery Team conducted a variety of searches in the area,” said Cpl. Carlie McCann, public information officer for the RCMP, in an email to CTV News Atlantic.

Annapolis District RCMP and fire services received a report around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday that two men, aged 73 and 77, had failed to return from ice fishing near Little Brook Lane.

Police launched an extensive search for the missing fishermen.

The 77-year-old man was found dead Wednesday afternoon and search crews are still looking for the 73-year-old man.

Annapolis County Ground Search and Rescue, Digby Ground Search and Rescue, the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association (CASARA), and Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources have all been involved in the search.

“Nova Scotia RCMP continues to ask that residents avoid the immediate areas where searches are taking place, in order to allow officers to do their work,” said McCann.

Police are also urging people to stay off the ice.
