RedactedNarrative: On 05-17-2016 WCO contacted Owner1. Owner1 said that he and O1 were Kayaking on the Fire Steel Creek on 05-07-2016. Heavy rains had caused the creek to rise and create good conditions for kayaking. During the trip O1 came around a bend and encountered a three string barb wire fence across the creek. 
  
  O1 attempted to quickly paddle to shore, but the water was too swift. O1 turned perpendicular to the creek, became tangled in the wire and the current rolled V1 over and capsized. O1 was wearing a PFD and was able to get out of V1 and get to shore and out of the water but lost a cell phone as well. Owner1 tried to retrieve V1 but it was full of water and pinned against the fence and other debris. On 05-18-2016 Owner1 went back to the area and was unable to locate V1. 
   
  On 05-18-2016 WCO went to the area and located the fence. The water had receded and WCO walked the creek downstream one half mile and was unable to locate V1. WCO contacted Mitchell, PD and Davison County SO and inquired if any property matching V1 had been reported found. No Property matching V1 has been found. WCO also contacted the LO and informed him that the fence across the Fire Steel creek on his land does not meet the navigable waters fencing requirements. WCO explained that GFP is working with SD Canoe and Kayak association to help LO with the fencing requirements. LO told WCO that he would like to work with the SD Canoe and Kayak Association to get a proper fence installed. WCO gave the LO information to the SD Canoe and Kayak Association.
