[QUOTE="Allen, post: 190153, member: 389"] Are we sure that NDGF pays for the boat ramp at Beaver Bay, a USACE owned campground? I was under the impression the Corps generally paid for facilities at their campgrounds but I suppose the NDGF may have thrown in a few bucks as a match. Secondly, I would hazard a guess that the tribe would NOT need a permit to operate a tournament if the boundaries are wholly contained within the reservation. That would be a tough one though as the anglers would be restricted to the western 1/2 of Lake Oahe. So it's probably best to just not bitch about that one or someone may get feisty and try to test the NDGFs authority and result in a more restrictive fishing area for the tourney guys. If the ramp is owned and paid for by Standing Rock/casino...they can do with it as they please. Of course, I choose to not their facilities because of location and odd stuff like this. That's the way private ownership works, offer up poor access and I don't have to use other local amenities. Don't get me wrong, I understand the frustration of having your trip planned only to find that it's been squashed by something like this, I'm just saying that if they pay for it they can operate it as they see fit. If it harms their business? Oh well. Ahh, at least it was a nice day for a ride down from Fort Rice though, wasn't it? [/QUOTE]
