Frederick Ursu was one of seven men who left Anama Bay, Manitoba, on a recreational fishing trip on the morning of September 29, 1979. The party traveled in three boats toward Warpath. During the day, weather conditions deteriorated and waves reached three to four feet. One boat became separated and lost sight of the two boats carrying Ursu and three others.

That evening the separated boat fired shotgun shots in an attempt to attract attention; when there was no response the remaining men were reported missing at about 7:30 p.m. A large search involving air, boat and land patrols followed. Three of the five missing men’s bodies were recovered; Frederick Ursu and Jerry Hudy were never found and are presumed drowned.

The disappearance left families without a recovery or grave site. Does anyone have family knowledge or recollections about that day on Anama Bay that could add detail to what happened?
