The float-equipped Cessna 185 was in the initial climb, at about 200 feet AGL, when the engine (Continental IO-520-D) misfired. The pilot immediately turned towards the river and the engine stopped completely. The height made it impossible to glide to the river and the aircraft collided with trees. The aircraft sustained substantial damage and the 2 occupants suffered minor injuries.
