Welcome to another edition of our weekly trivia challenge, in which we test your knowledge of all things fly fishing and where you might learn a thing or two about this sport we love. This week, we’ve got a classic ten questions covering such wide-ranging topics as fly names, geography, and history.
On the last quiz, there were three perfect scores. Big ups to Jeremy, Eric Arbogast, and ChuckB. Three other readers came close, with a 90%. The most common score was 50%.
The randomly chosen winner of this week’s quiz will receive a copy of Kirk Deeter’s book The Orvis Guide to Fly Fishing for Carp. The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org) was Ryan, who was a bit above average.
So post your score below for a chance at a great DVD of fly-fishing action.
Good luck!
