Police are continuing to appeal for information about a missing fisherman in South Canterbury, after scaling down search efforts

The Timaru man was reported missing on Friday morning, after failing to return from a fishing trip the night before.
Search efforts near the Opihi River mouth were scaled back yesterday afternoon, after crews found several items associated with the fisherman, but no sign of the man himself.
Police say they're still keen for any reported sightings of items of interest as far north as Lake Ellesmere -- particularly any sightings of a grey or blue tarpaulin, a blue and white T-shirt, blue shorts, and a green plastic dinghy.
