Fisherman drowns in Nashua

The body of a missing fisherman has been found down stream from the Cedar Lake dam in Nashua, Iowa. Search and rescue teams from around the area were called to the dam early Monday morning after a 30 year-old man was seen slipping below the water while fishing.


Cadaver dogs try to pick up a scent along the face of the dam. Water below the dam is reportedly over 20 feet deep.

Charles City Firefighters work to calculate the rate in which the water above the dam is raising after rescuers stop the flow of water over the dam.
