FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - The Fort Worth and Azle Fire Departments spent several hours searching for a man who disappeared after the boat he was in capsized on the north end of Lake Worth.
The search took place in a creek between Eagle Mountain Lake and Lake Worth.
Search crews also used drones to try to find him.
Fort Worth Police said two men were in a boat fishing in the area just below the Eagle Mountain Lake Spillway when their boat capsized.
Rescuers were able to get to one of the men and he is okay.
