The Boat owner and the deceased were fishing on Dailey Lake starting at 1630 hours.  Because of storms moving in and out of the area, they had to go to shore several times to seek shelter.  At around 1930 hours the wind started to blow from the North.  The waves were about two to three feet high.  While trying to turn the canoe into the wind a large wave went over the side of the canoe causing it to capsize and sink immediately.  The boat owner had a life vest on and the deceased did not.  While in the water the boat owner last saw the deceased trying to make a life vest out of his wind breaker jacket.  The boat owner floated to the south end of the lake where he was able to get out of the water.  The deceased, a fishing boat captain of a 75-foot craft, was found on the 30th of July within 20 yards of the canoe.
