In recognition for his years of dedicated service in promoting the goals of the Fly Fishers of Davis, the FFD Board has unanimously renamed our annual Fish Camp scholarship to the Cary Boyden Youth Fish Camp Scholarship.

Over the years, Cary has exemplified the most important values of our club, which are highlighted by his skill, his knowledge as a fly angler, his camaraderie and especially his friendship. We hope that all who are awarded the Cary Boyden Youth Fish Camp Scholarship follow in his footsteps, and embody the great values that he has provided to our club.
