Divers searching for a missing fisherman discovered a body in Lake Pueblo Monday afternoon.
The remains were immediately turned over to Pueblo County Coroner Brian Cotter for identification and determination of a cause of death.
The search was initiated early Sunday by Colorado Parks and Wildlife staff after witnesses reported seeing a man enter the water while he was fishing from the north shore in the State Wildlife Area, west of Lake Pueblo State Park.
Emergency responders from Pueblo-area agencies are searching Lake Pueblo Sunday for a man who went missing while fishing from the north shore in the State Wildlife Area.
Witnesses called 9-1-1 early Sunday morning after seeing a 65-year-old Pueblo West man enter the water to retrieve his fishing rod.
The emergency call was made when the man didn't return to shore.
After weeks of little movement for the drought monitor, ongoing hot, dry conditions in northwest Colorado moved a large portion of that part of the state back into abnormally dry conditions - the lowest drought category.
Temperatures mainly in the 90s will continue to blanket much of eastern and western Colorado Saturday, along with scattered thunderstorms to hint at annual monsoon moisture to come a little later in the summer.
