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, I’ve got 10 brand-new questions, pulled out of my own gray matter and the Google Machine.
The previous quiz saw a decent uptick in the number of perfect score, to seven. Polite applause for Jason Miller, Steven Nelson, Dale Holloway, Steve, Mike, Frank, and Clint. Strangely, there were just six(?) 90% scores, and the most common score plummeted to 40%.
The winner of this week’s random drawing will receive a really useful new book, Jason Randall’s Nymph Masters: Fly-Fishing Secrets from Expert Anglers, from Stackpole Books. This book is full of killer tips that will help you put more fish in the net.
The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org), and recipient of a signed copy of Tom Rosenbauer’s great book The Orvis Guide to Hatch Strategies: Successful Fly Fishing for Trout Without Always Matching the Hatch, was markreno, whose score was quite common. Perhaps the book can help bring that up.
So post your score below (or below the post on our Facebook page!) for a chance to win a great book.
Good luck!
