Welcome to a new 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’re serving up ten new questions about famous rivers, fly patterns, fish hybrids, and lots more!
The last quiz was a killer, and no one got ’em all right. However, for the second week in a row, three people scored 90%–Jim, Alan Burrows, and Wearyeye ray–and the most common score plummeted to 40%. I swear that I can never tell how easy or hard these quizzes are, so checking the scores is exciting.
The winner of this week’s random drawing will receive Tim Jacob’s great new book Tying and Fishing Deer Hair Flies, from Stackpole Books. The book is a complete guide to selecting, handling, and tying with deer hair, with notes on using other hairs, as well. It covers patterns for trout, bass, musky, and other species, as well as important fishing techniques. .
The winner of our last quiz, and recipient Jay Zimmerman’s great new book The Best Bass Flies: How to Tie and Fish Them, is AlanSt. His score was above average, but nothing to crow about.
So post your score below (or below the post on our Facebook page!) for a chance to win a great book.
Good luck!

I scored quite well but I have a question about #4. What is it that makes the Missouri R. the correct answer. I selected the Snake R. since it was the only river that flowed westward and all the others either flowed east or southeast.
Thank you,
Clint
