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 quiz that features questions about history, literature, fly names, and fish biology.
The last quiz was more difficult than I anticipated, and there were no perfect scores. However, three people–sam, Douglas Cox, and Shoo-Fly–missed only one question. The most common score held steady at 50%.
The winner of this week’s random drawing will receive a a copy of Dave Karczynski’s Orvis From Lure to Fly: Fly Fishing for Spinning and Baitcast Anglers. Karczynski helps conventional-tackle anglers translate and transfer their existing knowledge base and skill set as he introduces and reinforces core fly fishing concepts.
The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org), and recipient of Tim Lockhart’s book
Stillwaters Simplified: 7 lessons to help you catch more fish on the fly, is Luke, whose described his score as “less than good.”
So post your score below (or below the post on our Facebook page!) for a chance to win a great book.
