ELLERY – The body of a missing fisherman has been recovered from Chautauqua Lake.
Chautauqua County Sheriff Joe Gerace says that the body of 64 year-old David Spink was recovered Thursday morning, May 21 by the Bemus Point Volunteer Fire Department.
Spink, who was from Varysburg, New York, was last seen the evening of Wednesday, May 13 when he left Prendergast Point to go fishing. He was reported missing the next day and his boat was found on shore across the lake at Long Point, while his truck and trailer were still at the boat launch at Prendergast Point. His body was reportedly found close to the area where his boat was originally discovered.
The recovery caps off an extensive week-long search through the air and around the lake.
