TOWN OF WASHINGTON- Authorities have recovered the body of a missing fisherman from a lake in Shawano County.

The sheriff's department says searchers found the body of 57-year-old Kenneth Robinson of Green Bay after resuming the search Friday morning.

Authorities began searching Korth Lake Thursday night after an empty fishing boat was found idling in a circle.  Authorities say Robinson last had contact with someone Thursday afternoon and indicated he would be in by dark.

Robinson's body was found in about 19 feet of water. An autopsy is scheduled Saturday.
