Question

How long should it take to complete the fishing merit badge?

Answer 1

depends

Answer 2

It kinda depends on where you are at right now. if you know your basic first aid you have the first requirement in the books right away. The rest is applying the knowledge you have as a boyscout to to the fishing world. such as knots, basic wildlife and game laws, and the basic rules of being a boyscout. Then of course you need to catch some fish. 2 to be exact one you need to release unharmed and the other one you need to clean and cook. based on how much time you have and how often you camp you should be able to complete it on a weekend camping trip.
