RedactedNarrative: On January 9, 2017, at approximately 11:30 p.m. two people went fishing on Bistineau Lake in Bossier Parish.  They went out of Lamontes Camp Rd. in a 12 ft. 10 inch pirogue. At some time after midnight the pirogue capsized, throwing Subjects into the water.  Subject2 claimed the pirogue capsized when Victim was trying to pull the anchor up. 
  
   She also stated the pirogue was taking on water the entire time they were out due to the wind and the small size of the pirogue.  There was a lake wind advisory active for that night.  Subject2 stated after the pirogue capsized they tried to flip the pirogue over and reboard it several times, but ultimately they were forced to hold onto trees while in the water.  
  
  She stated they were holding onto separate trees approximately 15 feet apart.  Subject2 said that Victim and she were talking through the night, but Victim quit talking at some point in the night.  At approximately 6:40 a. m. Subject2 was rescued by a duck hunter and taken to the bank.  She was then transported to University Health Hospital in Shreveport where she was treated and released.  Victim was not located.  
  
  The deceased body of Victim was recovered at 9:20 a.m. in 7 feet of water right below where the pirogue was anchored on the lake, approximately 15 feet from where Subject2 was rescued.  Victim' body was then turned over to the Bossier Parish Coroner's Office for autopsy and toxicology.  The autopsy and toxicology revealed that victim died of drowning and tested positive for amphetamines.  No PFD's were found in the vessel, and Subject2 stated they did not have any when they left to go fishing.  Subject2 provided a verbal statement that was recorded and is included in this report.  Duck hunter provided a written statement.  In my opinion the causes of this incident are: 1 - Other, Unknown Fall Overboard; 2.  Operator inexperience; 3.  Weather
