Boy being treated for swallowing water after fishing boat capsizes

There were some scary moments for a dad and his son fishing in Lake Mindemoya.  Their small boat capsized when the father tried removing a fishing hook from his son`s life jacket.  OPP say the man removed his son`s life jacket in an effort to free the hook.  Once in the water, the father surfaced right away but he couldn`t spot his eight-year-old son.  However the youngster was seen on shore.  He`s now being treated in hospital for taking in water but there`s no word on his condition.
