RedactedNarrative: On July 6 at approximately 0918 hours, I (Game Warden) received a phone call from SALECS dispatch detailing that a boat had capsized the prior evening at Hawk Springs Reservoir.  I arrived at the scene at approximately 1200 hours and identified the operator of the capsized watercraft.  Operator stated that on the previous day (July 5) at approximately 1230 hours, he launched his watercraft with his family on board and recreated on the water until approximately 2030 hours. At approximately 2030 hours, a large storm began building to the southwest and began approaching Haw Springs Reservoir.  Operator dropped his family off on shore with only one remaining passenger on board, passenger.  At approximately 2045 hours, Operator and the passenger launched the watercraft from shore in an attempt to load the watercraft.  Operator stated that six other boats were also trying to load at the Hawk Springs boat ramp as the storm approached.  The storm reached Hawk Springs Reservoir at approximately 2100 hours and the water conditions became very rough.  Operator stated that he had the throttle full engage but the boat began taking on water from the stern.  As the boat became inoperable, Operator and passenger voluntarily left the boat and swam to shore and the watercraft capsized and became submerged shortly thereafter.  Using my patrol boat and onboard sonar, I marked the capsized boat at UATM 13T 566973m 4618308m.  An extraction team was able to recover the boat from Hawk Springs Reservoir at approximately 2130 hours on July 6, 2020.
