Troop 731 scouts learn to fish

FALLBROOK – Members of Troop 731 of Boy Scouts of America recently learned how to fish with both standard rods and fly fishing rods.

Tom Gillcrist, who is a Boy Scout merit badge counselor in fishing and fly fishing, taught the scouts. The scouts were able to learn fishing knots and how to assemble the rod, use the rod and catch a fish.

All of the fish that were caught at the Grand Tradition were released back into the lake. Thanks to the generosity of the Grand Tradition, the scouts were able to fish and complete this merit badge.
