Requirement

10. Catch one fish on a fly and identify it. Start this first

Required Often forgotten

On a fly, which is tighter than the Fishing merit badge's equivalent. The only requirement here you cannot finish by deciding to, so begin it early rather than tenth.

Notes and warnings

Warning. Start this one first, whatever the numbering says. It is the only requirement here you cannot finish by deciding to finish it. Note also that it is tighter than the Fishing merit badge's equivalent: the fish has to be caught on a fly.
