When it comes to fishing at summer camp, Hidden Valley offers lots of great places to fish along the picturesque banks of Sherman’s Creek.  Both Fishing and Fly Fishing merit badges are offered.

In Scouting for Boys, Baden-Powell offers this advice: “Every Scout ought to be able to fish in order to get food for himself. A tenderfoot [beginner] who starved on the bank of a river full of fish would look very silly, yet it might happen to one who had never learned to catch fish.”

Fly-fishing is a specialized form of fishing that combines skill and artistry. Because it is so rich with tradition, it is a passion for millions of people. The beauty of the water, the solitude, and the skills that the sport requires have made fly-fishing very important in the lives of many notable people.
