Police are appealing for information after a kayak was found floating upside down on Lake Te Anau on Tuesday afternoon.

The red and white kayak was in the water with a paddle, a stainless-steel flask and some fishing tackle nearby.

Police hope the kayaker made it ashore and returned home.

They are urging anyone who recognises the kayak or has failed to return home from fishing on Lake Te Anau today to get in contact.
