Operator of vessel #1 and a male passenger were fishing in the confluence of the Clearwater River and the Snake River about 150 yards north of the Confluence boat dock.  The two men were in a 12 ft Smoker Craft powerboat.  The operator of the vessel stood up to urinate off the side of the boat and lost his balance, falling to the loaded side of the boat.  Vessel #1 capsized forcing both men into the water.  They were picked up by some nearby fishermen and transported to the Army Corps of Engineers boat ramp in Clarkston WA.  Lewiston paramedics picked up the two men at the dock and transported them to St. Joseph Hospital in Lewiston, Idaho.  The two men were each treated for hypothermia and released.
