55-year-old Kenneth Gibson drowned in Lake Bistineau while fishing with his nephew near the dam.

55-year-old Kenneth Gibson drowned in Lake Bistineau, Bossier Parish, while fishing with his nephew near the dam. Both slipped into the water, and Gibson was swept into a canal below the dam. Multiple agencies, including Bossier deputies and Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, are searching for Gibson's body. The lake's drawdown, aimed at reducing giant salvinia, may have contributed to the swift water conditions.
