Welcome to a classic 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’re serving up ten new questions about famous fly fishers, fly patterns, angling history, fish species, and lots more!
The last quiz must have been pitched just right, as six people achieved perfect scores. Give it up for Peter D, Matthew, Steven R, Sarah, Amy, and Will. There were thirteen 90% scores, and the most common score jumped to 80%.
The winner of this week’s random drawing will receive Devin Olsen’s killer new book Tactical Fly Fishing, from Stackpole Books. The book covers strategies, tactics, and flies for rivers, small streams, and still waters, allowing anyone to fish more successfully by applying the approaches taken by competitive anglers.
The winner of our last quiz, and recipient of Tim Jacob’s great new book Tying and Fishing Deer Hair Flies , is Darren S. His score was just below average, but he still gets the prize.
So post your score below (or below the post on our Facebook page!) for a chance to win a great book.
Good luck!
