Indiana DNR will be overseeing the construction of structures, purchase of the materials, apply for permits, and place the structures at predesignated locations. While being assisted by the youth team and the adult mentors.
Once the project has been completed a map will be created with GPS locations will be available to anglers via the IDNR website https://secure.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/7665.htm. The Mitchell Jr/Sr. high school team with Tri-County Bass Anglers will work closely with IDNR to publicize activities through press releases, websites (DNR, Indiana Bass Federation, and Bass Unlimited), Facebook posts, and presenting at public meetings.
