RedactedNarrative: On Monday April 3, 2016 about 09:30 I received a call from Richfield dispatch.  Dispatch notified me that there was an overdue fishing party at Yuba.   OPERATOR and OCCUPANT were the two missing occupants.  The party launched on Sunday morning and when they didn't return home the wives called  911 to report them missing on Monday morning around 09:00.  Ranger1 and I were in Salt Lake City attending a training.  We contacted one of the Juab County deputies that was on scene to get more information.  He arrived on scene around 09:30.  A life flight helicopter was called to try to locate the missing vessel and occupants.  A member of the Levan ambulance crew also brought a boat to aid in the search.  The boat located the missing vessel near the narrows .  It was capsized and mostly under the water.  The life flight helicopter located a person laying on the shore near the submerged vessel.  They landed and found it to be OPERATOR, he was alive but in critical condition.  He was transported to Provo hospital by helicopter.    Search and rescue continued to search for OCCUPANT.  
  
  Ranger1 and I drove to the Salt Lake DNR shop to get a boat because our patrol boat is in St. George getting fixed.  We arrived at Yuba around 13:00 and launched the boat.  We met up with Sanpete County search and rescue and started working a grid system with the boat in attempt to locate OCCUPANT.  We were able to see where OPERATOR was located on the shore and all the debris that was scattered on the shore from the capsized vessel.  With this information we were able to minimize our search area.  Around 15:00 DPS arrived with their search boat, sonar and divers.  We met with them and showed them the search area and where we suspected OCCUPANT might have went down.  DPS sent their sonar down and located an object 10 feet away from the sonar.  One of their divers suited up and went down.  The object was found by the diver and was in fact the body of OCCUPANT.  OCCUPANT was found in 17 feet of water about 50 yards out from the shore.   We contacted the ambulance and had them meet us on the shore nearby.  OCCUPANT was put on a stretcher and transported by the ambulance. 
  
  INVESTIGATION
   I photographed the vessel, the debris and where OPERATOR was found.  Upon investigation the vessel did not have a capacity plate.  On the vessel was a 5 Horse Power outboard motor and an electric trolling motor.  Inside the boat was a full sized truck battery to run the motors, anchor, and other fishing equipment.  With the weight of all the equipment and the 2 occupants it was determined the vessel was over capacity.  This was likely a major factor in this incident.  There was no visible damage to the vessel or the motors.  A lot of gear was lost and scattered when the vessel capsized.  Among the gear on the shore were 2 life jackets.   We met up with some family near the boat launch and were able to retrieve the vessel and the equipment that had washed up on the shore.  We helped them load the vessel back on the trailer.
  
  HOSPITAL
  At the hospital when OPERATOR had recovered enough to talk he was able to give more information about the event. Around 17:00 on Sunday night while they were fishing the vessel started taking on water. OPERATOR decided to jump out of the vessel and try to make it back to shore. At one point OPERATOR looked back and saw the vessel capsize. He saw OCCUPANT go under water, come back up grasping for air and go back under the water. OPERATOR did not see OCCUPANT after that. OPERATOR made it to shore, but from the condition he was in was unable to move from the cold. OPERATOR spent the night laying on the beach. Temperatures reached 34 degrees that night. OPERATOR was found Monday morning and taken by helicopter.
