Narrative:
Small aircraft X on the VOR 24 approach at lou (IFR flight plan) we were advised to report entering a right downwind to runway 32. We reported right downwind when we noticed a low wing small aircraft Y approximately 300 ft above us. The tower then asked for our position and we advised we were entering a right base. We were cleared to land then told to go around and cleared to land in short order. I am not sure how this could have been prevented. It seemed as if the tower was overworked in this high training environment.

Title: SMA X HAD NMAC WITH SMA Y ENTERING TFC PATTERN. SEE AND AVOID CONCEPT. EVASIVE ACTION TAKEN.
Narrative: SMA X ON THE VOR 24 APCH AT LOU (IFR FLT PLAN) WE WERE ADVISED TO RPT ENTERING A R DOWNWIND TO RWY 32. WE RPTED R DOWNWIND WHEN WE NOTICED A LOW WING SMA Y APPROX 300 FT ABOVE US. THE TWR THEN ASKED FOR OUR POS AND WE ADVISED WE WERE ENTERING A R BASE. WE WERE CLRED TO LAND THEN TOLD TO GAR AND CLRED TO LAND IN SHORT ORDER. I AM NOT SURE HOW THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. IT SEEMED AS IF THE TWR WAS OVERWORKED IN THIS HIGH TRAINING ENVIRONMENT.
