RCMP in northeastern New Brunswick say a search is underway for two men who went fishing on Monday and have not returned.
Alderic Thibodeau, 75, and Leandre Thibodeau, 82, were last seen on a wharf in Brantville on the Acadian Peninsula.
Earlier today, first responders recovered an overturned boat near Portage Island that matches the description of the boat the men were travelling in.
