PROVO, Utah (AP) -- Search crews continue to look for a boater who has been missing on Utah Lake since Monday.

Authorities say their task is changing from a rescue to a recovery operation, though they say they are holding out some hope.

Searchers pulled a fishing jacket from the lake that belongs to Lon Thongthipvoravong.

Utah County Sheriff's Office spokesman Dennis Harris says the discovery has led searchers to expand the focus area farther north.

Thongthipvoravong was among six people on a boat that sank Monday.

The other five who were on board were found; one of them had spent about eight hours in the water when crews spotted him using night-vision goggles.
