Four quick-acting Utah boaters averted a tragedy on Flaming Gorge on May 18th. Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says that 20 year old Dalton, Campbell, 20 year old Bennett Holton and 19 year old Skyler Siddaway, all of Kamas, Utah, were boat fishing in the Anvil Draw area Saturday afternoon when bad weather and high winds struck the lake.
The swamped boat was towed to the Anvil Draw boat ramp by Sheriff Rich Haskell and Deputy Sheriff Scott Meyers, who were on the lake in the Sheriff’s Office patrol boat. Haskell and Meyers were assisted by game wardens of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and a United States Forest Service law enforcement officer.
Just under three weeks ago, on May 2nd, the body of 46-year-old drowning victim Danny Angelo Durante, of Jackson, Wyoming, was recovered from Jug Hollow on Flaming Gorge on the Utah side of the lake, about 5 miles generally south of Anvil Draw. Daggett County, Utah, authorities say Durante was boat fishing alone on the day of his disappearance and believe his boat capsized in heavy weather.
