Event: WR

ID: 4818

For our fourth and final regular season event of 2019, we head to the perennial smallmouth hotspot of the White River!  The White River continues to deliver growing numbers of smallmouth year after year, which is why we keep coming back!

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 Sun Valley Sports located at 8418 Castleton Corner Dr, Indianapolis, IN 46250.  While Sun Valley Sports is gracious in hosting the event and providing a location for our activities, they are not involved in the planning or execution of the event, so contacting them with questions is unnecessary.
