A Cumming man drowned while fishing in Lake Lanier Saturday.
William G. Doster, Jr., 51, was at Lake Lanier with his grandson and wife when he went under just south of Browns Bridge and did not resurface, said Department of Natural Resources spokesman Melissa Cummings.
Doster was wade fishing in waist-deep water in Flat Creek at about 8:30 p.m. when he went under, said Cummings.
His body was recovered minutes later in about seven feet of water.
