Canoeists still missing on Lake Winnebago

The search continues for two canoeists missing on Lake Winnebago. The paddlers–both in their 20s and from the Fond du Lac area–went out late Monday in windy conditions. They contacted 9-1-1 and requested a rescue about a mile north of the mouth of the Fond du Lac River around 8:30 that night. Sheriff Ryan Waldschmidt says they did eventually recover the vessel itself.  The names of the missing canoeists have not been released. They did not have floatation devices with them.
