Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rowdie" data-source="post: 334610" data-attributes="member: 272">It's now on the FRONT PAGE of the Mobridge TribuneAn access point used by anglers to get on to the ice of Lake Oahe has been blocked off by the Standing Rock Tribe.Access to the Indian Memorial Marina, a popular access point for ice fisherman, is blocked off by a snow fence.With the Mobridge Chamber of Commerce Tourism Committee’s annual ice fishing tournament just weeks away, the blocked access is a concern for the committee.Mobridge Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Tanner Jerome said the issue has recently been discussed by the committee.“It is a highly used access but there are still other access points to the lake that we are encouraging them (anglers) to use,” he said. “They can cross the Singing Bridge and get access below the (former) Chief Gall Inn. With the low water it could make it easier for them to get to the ice”Jerome there are other access points, including just west of the U.S. Highway 12 Bridge and the water plant access. He said the committee will discourage any anglers to use a route that takes them across the channel or under the U.S. Highway 12 Bridge, where the current makes the ice conditions less stable. The constant movement of the water through the channel and around the pylons of the bridges on the Missouri River channel, causes constant changes in ice conditions in those areas.An official with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said the Corps is aware of the situation and is working internally on it.Attempts to contact officials with the Standing Rock Tribe to find out the reason for the blocked access were not successful.Further information on this issue will be will be published in upcoming issues.- - - Updated - - -I find it funny how they say they tried contacting the Tribe, but were not successful.  Sounds like the Tribe is doing what it does best....Hiding under their desk.</blockquote>
