For fishing merit badge, they need to catch two different species. Since you are at Ceder Creek, Purtis Creek is a great place to camp for Scouts and with red wigglers and minnows would likely catch two different kinds of fish. Perch (bluegill) are great eating and easy to catch on wigglers and Bass or crappie will eat the minnows. A run over to the freshwaters fisheries Center there in Athens(not too far from Purtis) is educational/fun and they have a catfish pond as well.
See you on the lake and have a great day!

Tyler Reese Jones Scout camp in Athens has great fishing, not so much for eating fish but I have personally caiught lots and lots and lots of fish out of every tank on that property and its a BSA facility. Is that formerly known as Camp Cherokee? Yes and I got the name incorrect, Trevor Reese Jones

Is that formerly known as Camp Cherokee? That’s what it was named when I was in scouts in the 70’s. Several small spring fed lakes on the property with some BIG bass.......and alligators!
