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 set of ten questions about famous rivers, fly patterns, and fish nicknames.
The previous quiz produced zero perfect scores, for the third week on the trot. (I’ll have to make a super-easy one next week!) There were four 90% scores, so tip your caps to Matthew, Joe Dunmire, Peter D, and Sam M. It wasn’t all bad news: the most common score jumped up two spots to 70%.
The winner of this week’s random drawing will receive a two-pack of Orvis Mirage Trout Leaders in the size of their choice. Pure fluorocarbon Mirage has the highest abrasion resistance of any leader or tippet, and is virtually invisible to fish. Mirage fluoro leaders should be your go-to for spring creeks, still water, large streamers, or fishing nymphs in clear water.
The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org)–who will also receive a pack of Mirage leaders–is Jack, who won’t be putting his score on his resume.
So post your score below (or below the post on our Facebook page!) for a chance to win a great video.
Good luck!
