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 ten all-new questions about such topics as fly histories, Western rivers, angling books, and native fishes.
The last quiz showed a big improvement, as three people achieved perfect scores. Give it up for Mark, J McKaughan, and roger. One respondent missed by a single question, and four others scored 90%. Strangely, the most common score plummeted at 45%.
The winner of this week’s random drawing will receive a copy of George Daniel’s great new book Nymph Fishing: New Angles, Tactics, and Techniques, from Stackpole Books. Daniel covers specialized equipment, flies, and presentations, focusing on advanced lessons and tips for anglers with a solid grasp of fundamentals.
The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org), and recipient of George’s book, is AB, whose score was bad enough to elicit a “Zoinks!”
So post your score below (or below the post on our Facebook page!) for a chance to win a great book.
Good luck!
