Welcome to the Indiana B.A.S.S. Nation Youth website.
We promote and organize competitive youth fishing in Indiana at the High School and Junior (2nd-8th grade) level. We are affiliated with B.A.S.S. High School Nation and Junior B.A.S.S. Nation who are helping shape the future of the sport, one youth club at a time. The youth club members enjoy camaraderie and competition, as well as education and conservation programs.
For 2024, IBN Youth will offer 1 High School Trail and a Junior Events series. Those trails offer great fun and prizes as well as the opportunity to earn your way to the B.A.S.S. High School and Junior National Championships.

IBN Youth News:
Updated 2025 info:
All boat captains must have proof of completion of a National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) boater safety course.
All anglers fishing in the high school division must also have proof of completion of a National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) boater safety course
It is not required for Junior anglers, but highly suggested any angler 12 and up should have completed a boater safety course.
All anglers must have on file the "IBN YOUTH WAIVER" that is signed by a parent/guardian. This document needs to be completed once and is good for all events for the 2025 IBN Youth trails.
Each team must turn in a completed "IBN YOUTH EVENT TICKET" the morning of each event. This is to make sure we have an accurate record for who is on the water that day.
