Put in at around 8am Nov 18, 2017 with Dr. Feelgood at Siltcoos Lake. Trolled for 4+ hours and nada. Upon returning to the ramp at 1pm, noticed, from a distance, that there was an obstruction and people standing on the boat ramp. Appeared to be upside down aluminum boat and a lot of law enforcement personnel on the ramp. Long story short, we heard from Sheriff's Deputy at the dock that, sometime in late morning, boater accidentally accelerated onto the dock and flipped a ~20" Hewes causing an injury and a fatality. Female transported to Peace Harbor. Divers were assembling to search for the body of the, presumably, male boat owner. We have to take out at the private boat ramp. We were very saddened to see this tragic sight and reminded of the importance of safety in all aspects of boating.
