I looked up the requirements for the Boy Scouts merit badge:

IMO, they're very comprehensive and well thought out. Someone did a good
job. A boy would really have to learn something to pass this test.

The last requirement, apropos of the ROFF C&R vs. C&K controversy, is:
"Using the fly-fishing techniques you have learned, catch two different
kinds of fish and identify them. Release at least one of them unharmed.
Clean and cook another fish."

I like the idea implicit in their requirements that fly fishing doesn't
necessarily mean trout fishing.
