2019 IKA Event #3 - Tippecanoe River
Event: TIP
ID: 4277
It's time to start the river half of our tournament season! For our third event of 2019, we're heading to some new moving water for Indiana Kayak Anglers, the Tippecanoe River! Located near Monticello, IN, the Tippecanoe is renowned for fabulous smallmouth fishing and should turn out some great numbers in both size and quantity.As with any river event, there is a lot of planning involved for your day on the water. We've put together this page on our website to help you with that planning. On this page you'll find a map of the allowable launch locations, a table with approximate distances on the river between launches, links to monitor flow and height gauges at various sites along the allowable water, and lodging options in the area.
Tournament Headquarters will be at Buffalo Christian Church located at 303 IN-16, Buffalo, IN 47925. You are REQUIRED to return to headquarters at the conclusion of the event to check-in. Should you need to leave early and are unable to check-in, please contact a tournament director and let them know.
