RedactedNarrative: Driver and owner was fishing below Cheatham Dam. He was wearing a PFD at the time of the accident. His small 14 foot Sea Nymph John boat was anchored from the starboard side stern.  The vessel took on water and capsized.  The anchor line broke. 
  
  After that the boat and the operator drifted in the current over to the wing-wall of Cheatham Dam.  Witnesses called 911 to report a capsized boat and a man hanging on to the dam. A dam maintenance worker later tossed the operator a float ring on a rope wear he remained in the water until he was picked up from the dam by TWRA officers, a Core Ranger, and a Cheatham county Sheriffs deputy.
