Three people were fishing in a 14' aluminum boat on a private pond.  The boat did not have any type motor attached.  Only paddles were used for manuvering.  There were no PFD's used or found near the incident location.  The boat had been anchored by a heavy weight.  As the operator stood up in the boat to pull up the anchor, he lost his balance and caused a weight transfer to one side of the boat.  The boat capsized, and all three occupants went into the water.  one occupant assisted another to the bank and operator tried swimming to the other bank, but went under before he reached it. the two adults had been drinking alcoholic beverages.
