I didn't know that the Boy Scouts had a merit badge for
fly-fishing.http://www.scouting.org/factsheets/02-500.html Sad that it
is the least earned badge from 1911 to 2006, but then I don't know how
long it's been available.

My son and I did a Father/Son vacation two years ago on Kelly Creek. We
completed the Fly Fishing Merit Badge on the 5 day trip. One of the best
times I have had with my son, it was very rewarding for both of us when he
catch a beautiful Westslope Cut on a Stimulator that he tied.
Unfortunately the leader of my sons group had never given out that badge
before. I offered the class and was going to teach most of it at home since
we live on a lake and finish up on a local river, I was surprised when I had
no interest from any of the other boys.

We will be heading into Kelly Creek next Thursday, this time my bride and
the new baby will be along, can't wait!
