The U.S. Coast Guard says it's searching for a man who fell off the fishing vessel Miss Colleen on Friday night in Togiak Bay near Anchor Point.
A Coast Guard press release identifies the man as Benjamin Symmes, 31, hometown unknown.
It adds the Miss Colleen is homeported in Metlakatla.
It's not clear to me whether this was a commercial fishing accident.
If it was, it could turn out to be the second fishing fatality this season at Togiak, which is one of the Bristol Bay salmon districts.
