RedactedNarrative: Operator went out fishing on Lahontan Reservoir on 4/28/23 by himself on his tracker marine vessel. At approximately 1500 hours, he was traveling north bound just outside the narrows while trolling/fishing. He said the water was very hazy so he was traveling approximately 3 mph with the use of his trolling motor. He was standing at the bow of the vessel so that he could try to look for rocks or other obstructions in the water.
  
  Operator said his trolling motor prop struck something in the water, likely a shallow area he could not see. His vessel stopped suddenly and was wobbly. Operator attempted to balance himself on the vessel but was unable to do so, which made him jump into the water. He landed on his right foot, in approximately 6 inches of water, breaking his right femur. Operator was wearing his inflatable personal floatation device (PFD) which was set off quickly after he entered the water. Operator said was in a lot of pain. He called his wife with his cell phone and asked her to call for an emergency response. 
  
  Nevada State Parks, Central Lyon County Fire/EMS, Churchill County Search and Rescue, and Medics from Churchill County all responded. Operator was care flighted to Renown Hospital. Nevada State Park Ranger transported Operator's vessel to the North Shore Marina, where Operator's family took possession of the vessel.
