near Lock and Dam 7 in Dresbach in southeastern Minnesota.

Winona County Sheriff Dave Brand says they're looking for a 27-year-old from Onalaska, Wisconsin.

Brand says the man went fishing around 11 p.m. Saturday. 

The sheriff says it appears the boat hit a gate on the dam and sank. The boat was found Sunday about three-fourths of a mile downstream. The man's life jacket and a boat motor were found near the gate.

The victim's name was not immediately released.
