NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The search for three missing fishermen around Pickwick Dam will get underway for a third, consecutive day.
As of Wednesday, this effort is now shifting from a rescue to a recovery effort. Crews say they’re searching a stretch of the Tennessee River below the Pickwick Dam.
Two 15-year-olds and a 43-year-old chaperone, the father of one of the boys, went missing over the weekend during a fishing tournament on Pickwick Lake. The missing students were part of the Obion County High School fishing team.
Swift water has slowed the search effort. The Tennessee Valley Authority has slowed the flow of water through the dam to help. It's believed the three lost engine power and went over the dam.
"Because of the rain... We can't close the gates. It is going to flood on the other side,” said Amy Spencer with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.
Their badly damaged bass boat was recovered several miles down from the dam on the river near Savannah.
