The pilot said he made a low pass over a reservoir. According to the pilot, the wind was from the west and the outside temperature was greater than 100 degrees F. He pulled up in a climbing right turn from west to east and the airplane stalled. He attempted to recover but there was insufficient altitude. The airplane impacted 2-feet deep water approximately 20 feet from shore.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed which resulted in a stall. Low altitude flight and high density altitude are contributing factors.
