Fruitless lake search for fisherman and son

Searchers have found no trace of a man and his son who are feared drowned in a lake in
Tasmanian.

Police divers and boats have searched Arthurs Lake and its shores all day for the
30-year-old Hobart man and his nine-year-old son.

They disappeared yesterday after their five-metre aluminium dinghy became semi-submerged
during a family fishing trip on the popular trout lake in the central highlands.

Other fishermen rescued the man's five-year-old son and 53-year-old father.
