C-GLLE, a BushCaddy L164 amateur built aircraft on floats, was on final approach to land in the south bay of Lake Nippissing when the pilot noticed a wasp in the cabin. The pilot became preoccupied with the wasp and the aircraft stalled at about 50 feet agl. During the recovery from the stall the right float made contact with the water and dug in and the aircraft began to spin around. The aircraft remained upright and sank due to the damaged floats. The pilot received minor injuries but egressed from the aircraft and was picked up by a boater. The pilot had previously taken underwater egress training, and was wearing a 4 point safety belt and inflatable PFD at the time of the accident.
