RedactedNarrative: On april 26, 2018 at approximately 1215 hours operator was fishing from a kayak on shock lake in tri county f&w area. While fishing with his boat anchored in one spot, he moved around in the kayak causing it to capsize resulting in him entering the water. At the time he had his life preserver on and floated beside the boat. He was able to upright the watercraft but was unable to re-board it due to its instability in the water. Eventually, after being unable to get anyone’s attention to help him, he was able to swim over to a shallow peninsula in the lake not far from him in an attempt to get out of the water and reach shore. Due to his hypothermic condition from being in the cold water for so long, he was unable to walk through the shallow water and thick mud all the way up to shore. He observed another vehicle drive down to the access site and was able to get the occupants attention who then called 911. A boat belonging to the syracuse fire department was used to go retrieve him from the water and bring him to shore. He was transported to kosciusko community hospital for treatment of hypothermia.
