RedactedNarrative: On May 23, 2020, at approximately 19:07 hours, the ODNR dispatch received a phone call from operator/owner of Sandusky, OH. The Operator/owner advised that he had been canoeing on the Clearfork of the Mohican River on this day and lost his boat due to the extreme river conditions.  
  
  I made contact with the Operator/owner who advised that he had lost a green canoe, after capsizing in the river and the boat was washed down river. I advised the Operator/owner that I had recently spoke with an individual about the vessels that he located trapped against a tree in the river. 
  
  I advised that they were most likely his boats.  The operator/owner wanted to know how we were going to retrieve the boats, in which I advised him that due to the river conditions at this time, it was not safe for us or himself to get back into the river to retrieve his boats.  
  
  I advised him that once the river levels dropped and the river was safe to access, that he would be able to retrieve his vessel.  I also advised him that is we recovered his boats or they were turned in, that we would contact him to return him his boats.  
  
  On June 4, 2020, at 16:30, the Operator/owner called my state phone and advised me that he had located and recovered his green canoe, but was completed destroyed and was a total loss.  Since speaking with the Operator/owner on June 4, 2020 he has not returned any of my phone calls.  The full report, documenting my attempts to follow up with the Operator/owner can be viewed in RMS report number 20NR0002495
