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 serve up a classic quiz with ten questions to give the ol’ gray matter a workout.
Scores on the last quiz were quite good, but only one person scored 100%. Give it up for Austin, who claims that he’s never scored higher than 60% before. He must have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express the night before he took the challenge. There were a remarkable 13 people who missed a single question, and the most common score jumped to 60%.
The winner of this week’s random drawing will receive a copy of Bob Clouser’s Fly-Fishing for Smallmouth: in Rivers and Streams, from Stackpole Books. The author shares the extensive knowledge he has developed over a quarter-century of guiding for smallmouth bass and serves up 32 of his favorite patterns.
The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org), and recipient of copy of Dave Karczynski’s Orvis From Lure to Fly: Fly Fishing for Spinning and Baitcast Anglers, is Paul, who wrote, “Wow, even a blind squirrel gets 70% now and then!”
So post your score below (or below the post on our Facebook page!) for a chance to win a great book.
Good luck!
