The Carroll County Office of Emergency Management says a search is underway for a missing fisherman near the Long Creek Arm of Table Rock Lake.
The fisherman, 59, was reported missing on Friday, October 21, late in the evening. The fisherman’s family called 911 and stated the man was overdue but they had a possible location from an app on his phone.

His phone and personal belongings were left on the boat, but the fisherman was not located. Crews have yet to locate the man.
