Crews returned to Lake Somerville in Washington County Wednesday to recover the body of a fisherman who fell from a boat near the Birch Creek area, KBTX in Bryan reported.

The unidentified man’s body was located Tuesday evening, KBTX reported.

Earlier this month a Houston area man died at the lake after falling off the back of a personal watercraft.

Over the past 20 years, a dozen people have drowned at the lake, four of them this year alone, KBTX reported.
