JUNCTION CITY — The three-day search for a Milford Lake drowning victim has been unsuccessful to this point.

The Salina area man, approximately 65 years of age, drowned Sunday morning in the West Rolling Hills area of the lake.

Geary County Sheriff Tony Wolf said the victim tried to retrieve a fishing pole that was falling off of a pontoon boat, fell off the boat into the water, and never resurfaced.

Wolf said authorities are still searching. While some searchers have been relieved, Wolf said there are still patrols on the water watching the shoreline, and the area where the body is believed to be located.
