Cary Boyden Youth Fly Fishing Scholarship
Fly Fishers of Davis is proud to offer the Cary Boyden Youth Fly Fishing Scholarship.
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.
Fly Fishers of Davis offers the Cary Boyden Youth Fish Camp Scholarship to any interested boy or girl, from 10 to 15 years of age. The boy or girl must also meet one of the following eligibility criteria: Be related to a member of the Fly Fishers of Davis, be an active member of a Davis Boy Scout or Girl Scout Troop, be an active member of the Davis 4-H Club, attend public or private school within the Davis city limits, or a student that participated in a FFD sponsored Salmon in the Classroom Program.
This scholarship covers the entire cost of the five day program, which is conducted by The Fly Shop of Redding. FishCamp™ is a 5-day, 4 night summer fly fishing adventure in Northern California. The program teaches fly fishing and other outdoor skills in a safe and friendly environment, and is held on a private ranch at the base of Mt. Shasta. The program includes accommodations, meals, and use of the finest in fly fishing equipment.
Fish Camp is serious fun, with plenty of time every day for fishing, workshops, and stories around the campfire. Some of the lessons include:
- Fly Casting and Fly Tying
- Knots
- Basic Entomology
- Reading the Water
- Safe Wading
- Catch & Release
- Leave-No-Trace
