Incident Summary
The pilot reported attempting to land at a remote, off-airport site with the intention of going fishing. The landing site was not a designated airstrip.
Flight Sequence
According to the pilot's report, he performed two low passes over the landing area to assess its suitability. On the third pass, he initiated a landing attempt. During the approach, he determined that the airplane would touch down too far down the landing site. He then decided to abort the landing and execute a go-around.
As part of the go-around procedure, the pilot reduced the flap setting. The airplane began to sink, prompting the pilot to reapply full flaps. Despite this action, the airplane was unable to climb away from the rising terrain. The aircraft subsequently impacted terrain and was destroyed.
