A privately registered float-equipped Cessna 185F aircraft was conducting a takeoff at the Thunder Bay (CKE6), ON, water aerodrome with only the pilot on board. During the initial takeoff run and prior to getting onto the step, the bow of the right float dug into the water and the aircraft overturned. The pilot was able to egress the aircraft using the left cabin door. The aircraft did not sink and the pilot hung onto the floats until rescue arrived. The pilot was not injured and the aircraft sustained substantial damage.
It was reported that all landing gear were retracted and that the lake does contain dead-heads. The weather conditions at the time of the occurrence were clear with a light breeze and glassy water conditions.
