A man and children who were missing on a northeastern Saskatchewan lake for three days have been found safe and sound.

On Tuesday, a 60-year-old man, his 12-year-old grandson and the grandson's 13-year-old cousin set out on Wollaston Lake to check fish nets, but they did not return.

RCMP, the Wollaston Lake Canadian Rangers and volunteer searchers scoured the lake for the missing trio Friday.

The Rangers found them on an island in the northern section of the lake shortly after noon Friday.
