A brief article in some Fishing Wire spam caught my eye and I thought to pass on the tidbit for any proud father whose child might be planning on achieving their Fly Fishing Scout badge.
A cursory eyeball of the exam suggests fewer than half of the anglers I know would pass it, given there’s no section devoted to beer drinking or how to tell falsehoods. “Proud Papa” might have to bone up on some topics ancillary to fishing, and mighty damn quick …
Then again, some canny lawyer’s son might have a thing or two to say that might update the exercise, but with a couple grizzled scout leaders staring me down, I’d cave and opt for the expected answer myself.
As you may have guessed, my struggles with authority as a young lad precluded my taking part.
Gotta love number 10: “Catch at least one fish. If regulations and health concerns permit, clean and cook a fish you have caught. Otherwise, acquire a fish and cook it”
I’m guessing Brownliners are mostly exempt from this requirement and are simply allowed to satisfy this requirement by stopping for the 2 for $4 Fillet O’ Fish special.
You mean I can’t “acquire” a filet of fish to meet this requirement?
That was my plan all along.
I’d have produced the greasy treasure with a flourish and exclaimd, “I’ll prepare this already cooked one.”
(inhale)
I’m sorry but it appears I am the only one to notice the SALE on feather hair extensions for a mere $2.00 beneath the 6th finger clippers ad. I will let someone else track it back to Keith’s site…the “already cooked one”.
I searched and searched for the “5 safety practices”. They were not what you’d normally come up with. I would have thought, wear a hat, sunglasses; let someone know where you’re going. I wasn’t even close.
