1 of 2 missing canoeists recovered from Minong Flowage

Nov. 9—WASCOTT — Searchers on Wednesday evening recovered the body of Ryan J. Busch, 26, one of two canoeists who had been missing on the Minong Flowage in Wascott since Oct. 28.

Authorities are still searching for Andrew DeRock, 27, also of New Ulm, Minnesota, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office reported in a news release Thursday morning.

The two men went out in a canoe Oct. 28 and were reported missing after family found their capsized canoe Oct. 29. A search effort with drones and personnel took place for the next few days but became a recovery effort earlier this week.
