KELSEY – Search crews are canvassing the Nelson River in northern Manitoba for an Alberta man who may have drowned while fishing in the area.
Manitoba RCMP and a private diving company are searching a portion of the river near the Kelsey Generating Station for 60-year-old James Redmond.
Police received reports that Redmond was last seen early Monday morning in Kelsey, Man., and was known to go fishing from the shore of the Nelson River.
RCMP say officers searched along the shoreline near Redmond’s cabin and found gear belonging to the man about 200 metres upstream from the generating station.
They believe this is where Redmond entered the river.
Mounties continue to investigate.
