A 49-year-old man from Southend is missing from a hunting camp on a small unnamed lake located roughly 10 km northeast of the community.
The RCMP say Leo Jobb and a 50-year-old hunting partner had gone out to hunt moose in the area on Monday.
That night, Jobb apparently took a canoe onto the lake, but didn’t return.
The canoe and paddles were eventually found on the far shore of the small lake approximately 3 km away, but there was no sign of Jobb.
Local search and rescue teams have been searching the area around the lake.
The RCMP Underwater Recovery Team has been called in to search the lake itself.
