The search for a missing fisherman in Lake Wakatipu near Glenorchy has resumed, with the assistance of the Police National Dive Squad.
Senior Sergeant Paula Enoka, of Queenstown, said the squad's divers would search a slightly expanded area of the lake today, and a search and rescue would scour the shoreline again.
