  On 05/17/2014, at about 2:00 p.m., Operator and Occupant were paddling this vessel in the Klickitat River near Glenwood WA located in Klickitat county. The Klickitat County Sheriff's office reported that at about 4:30 p.m. they were dispatched to a report of a rafting incident near the Glenwood Salmon Hatchery. Dispatch advised that they had received a call from Occupant reporting that he and a friend (Operator) had turned over in their raft and Operator was still missing. 
  
  Law Enforcement arrived at the fish hatchery and made contact with Occupant. Occupant advised that it was his first time on the Klickitat River and he was not familiar with it at all. He advised that his rafting partner (Operator) was an experienced rafter and had rafted the river before. Occupant estimated that they were about 2 hours into their trip when they were both rolled out of the raft. Occupant was downstream from Operator and had grabbed a limb and was holding on. Occupant advised that Operator yelled at him to grab the raft as it came by. Occupant let go of the limb and got his ankle hung on the rocks. He immediately gave up on the raft and went to work on freeing his leg before he drowned. Occupant was able to free himself because he still had an oar. Occupant advised the last he saw Operator he was down river from him and still trying to secure the raft. 
  
  Occupant pulled himself from the river. He estimated that it took him 2 hours to arrive at the fish hatchery. Occupant located Operator's raft in the spillway at the hatchery. Search & Rescue activities began on 05/17/2014 and continued through 5/18/2014. The search was on the ground, water, and air. There was no sign of Operator on the 18th. On 05/19/2014, the search continued on both ground and water. Again there was no sign of Operator. 
  
  It was determined after the search on 05/19/2014, that the search would be suspended until water conditions improved to better see the river.
