Fisherman Lost for Several Hours

A fisherman was lost for several hours Friday near Ripley in Chautauqua County.

At about 7:30 last night a camping party called the sheriff’s office saying 56-year-old Joseph Evancho of Blasdell left the camp to go fishing at about 2:30, but hadn’t returned.

The sheriff’s department, fire department, state forest ranger and Erie County’s Air One helicopter searched the area. Air One found Evancho shortly after midnight. Air One then directed the sheriff’s office K9 unit and firefighters to Evancho’s location. They reached him at about 12:30. He wasn’t hurt.
