A kayaker has gone missing on Virginia's Rappahannock River.
A search began late Sunday afternoon, The Free Lance-Star reports.
Paige Pearson, a spokeswoman for the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, said the male kayaker left the Fredericksburg City Dock with another boater shortly after 4 p.m.
They soon encountered rough water, which caused the man's kayak to flip. Pearson said he recovered from the flip and held on before letting go.
