BLYTHEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Authorities say an Arkansas man has drowned at a lake in Tennessee. 

The Blytheville Courier News reports a fisherman found George McHan about 5 p.m. Thursday at Reelfoot Lake. The man pulled McHan into his boat and called for help. 

McHan was pronounced dead at the scene. 

Rescue workers searched the area for others who may have been with him, but no one else was found. 

The Obion County sheriff's department says 30-mph winds made waters very choppy at the lake that day.
