Seventy-year-old Colin Court has been missing since at least Friday.

The search for a missing man at Cowichan Lake has been suspended until further notice, according to Cowichan Search and Rescue.

On Monday, Lake Cowichan RCMP were in the area where Colin Court’s fishing kayak washed ashore near Little Shaw Creek.

Court, 70, told his family he was going flyfishing on Friday. He was last seen on Thursday.

On Saturday, a motorist found a truck belonging to Court parked at a campground on Cowichan Lake, west of Youbou.

After determining Court hadn’t returned home from his fishing trip, police called in search-and-rescue crews.

Rain plagued Saturday’s search, but crews returned at daybreak on Sunday, scouring the shores and surface of Cowichan Lake.
