RedactedNarrative: On Saturday February 13th at around 1400 I received information from TWRA dispatch that a single vessel with 3 occupants on board had overturned below Weaver Pike Bridge on the South Fork of the Holston River.  The vessel came through the shoals between the islands and was pushed into a large limb in the water causing the vessel to swamp and capsize ejecting the occupants.  All occupants ended up stranded on Boys Island with their boat but did not have a motor or paddles to get to the mainland. None of the occupants were injured but they lost most of their equipment.  The occupants were rescued by TWRA officers and refused treatment from EMS. The occupants stated that over $2000.00 worth of gear and equipment was lost during the incident. The boat was rated for 2 individuals or 310lbs and the South Holston Dam was generating at 2400 CFS at the time of the incident.  *** Law Violations
