This is a great merit badge. I have a resident fishing license in my home state and I have the non-resident fishing licenses in two states where I can go fishing when school is out for the summer and I travel on summer vacation. Why are there different size regulations and creel regulations on the number of fish that may be harvested in states who share the same body of water such as the fishing regulations in the large bay that is so large that it is contained in the states of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia where there is flounder season during the summer? Being able to catch and release fish from the fishing line is a great skill. The catch and release fishing technique is very important to not harvest either the wrong size of game fish or if a closed season fish decides to eat the bait from my fish hook when I intended for a fish that is permitted to be harvested is supposed to come to my line?

I loved doing this merit badge. It was so simple to catch fish using a fly rod. Very interesting badge.
