JUNCTION CITY — The search is still on for a man who fell overboard and never resurfaced while fishing at Milford Lake early Sunday morning.

Geary County Sheriff Tony Wolf confirmed late Monday afternoon that crews were still searching for the man in the West Rolling Hills area of the lake. He explained that pin pointing the location of where the man fell in has been difficult because they have received conflicting stories from witnesses.

“That’s pretty common, because when you’re out there on the water and you drop something or something like this happens, when you get back to the shoreline you turn around to look and point out where it happened its going to look different,” Wolf said. “There’s no landmarks in the water.”

Wolf did say that they do have an area figured out but an exact location, no. They are using sonar in an attempt to locate items on the bottom of the lake. Crews have located several anomalies, however, but after further investigation they turned out to be logs or large rocks.

The topography of the lake bottom has made the search process more difficult, as well.

“We’ve got peaks, we’ve got valleys, and we have a layer of rick, a ridge down there underneath the water, in probably 15 to 20 feet and under the water and then there’s a drop off,” Wolf said. “Sonar does not look or see into those rocks very well. We’re having a hard time with that area right there, that rock ridge.”

Wolf said that the rock ridge runs the entire length of that cove and does not make dragging the bottom very easy.

The name of the victim is not being released at this time and the search will continue.
