RedactedNarrative: On April 29th, 2023, at approximately 09:29 hrs, Game Warden1 got a call about a capsized vessel near the South side of the dam on Clinton reservoir. Game Warden1 was informed that all occupants had made it safely to shore. Game Warden1 responded to the scene and arrived at approximately 11:00 hrs. Game Warden1 talked to wardens who were already on scene and who were attempting to tow the capsized vessel back to the boat ramp. 
  
  Game Warden2 directed Game Warden1 to where the occupants of the vessel were and Game Warden1 went and talked to them. Warden1 talked to them and found out that they had put their boat on at boat ramp one that morning and motored on across the lake to the South side of the dam where there were some trees. 
  
  Subject1 had thrown out a fishing pole and had quickly caught a catfish. As the men were trying to put the fish in the livewell they noticed water in the bilge and at their feet. Subject1 tried to start the motor and get up on plane. The motor started but died before the boat could get up on plane. The men then tried to use the trolling motor to head back towards the boat ramp, and also contacted 911. Another civilian boat eventually showed up and tried to tow the victim boat back towards the boat ramp. The boat was continuing to take on water and eventually took on too much water and capsized. The two men ended up in the water, both wearing pfds. The civillian boat loaded up the two men and brough them back to the boat ramp. Subject1 estimated the boat starting taking on water at 8:00 hrs. Wardens were able to tow the capsized vessel back to the boat ramp. The vessel was upside down in the water. Game Warden1 and the two occupants were able to flip the boat back over and load it onto the trailer. The boat suffered damage to the motor cover and mount from dragging on the boat ramp in trying to flip the boat. The trolling motor also broke its mount. The plug was missing from the boat. Nothing further to report at this time.
