RedactedNarrative: Vessel - 14' Fiberglass Open River Boat - Year/Make Unknown 
  
  On 03/21/2014, at about 4:15 p.m., Operator and Occupant were going fishing and had launched this vessel onto the Bogachiel River at the Bogachiel Fish Hatchery boat launch in Forks. WA located in Clallam county. This was both Operator's and Occupant's first experience with operating a river boat. Operator was rowing the boat. 
  
  They had traveled down river about 50 yards when the boat got caught up in some tree limbs that were hanging over the river. One of their fishing poles became entangled by a limb. Operator maneuvered the boat while Occupant was standing to untangle the pole. The boat's bow swung around, dipped down then started taking on water. The boat quickly swamped. 
  
  Occupant abandoned the boat and swam to the north river bank. Operator stayed with the boat. Occupant saw Operator on top of the overturned boat holding onto a line that was attached to the boat. Occupant threw a PFD to Operator. Occupant watched Operator as he disappeared drifting downstream in the current on top of the boat while hanging onto the line and PFD. 
  
  Operator's body was recovered on 03/27/2014. He was not wearing a PFD.
