Occupants of watercraft were netting fish along the west shoreline of the lake. While setting the nets, the watercraft became unstable and overturned the occupants into the water. Both were wearing life jackets and were a short distance from the shoreline. They swam to shore and attempted to summon fishermen that later cruised by. The witness saw them and responded to the area. The victims were suffering from hypothermia and 911 was contacted. The victims were loaded into the witness' boat and were transported to a resort near Bena. Air ambulance was requested due to a severe case of hypothermia. The victims were later treated and released from the hospital.
