Welcome to an all-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’ve got ten questions about fish history, fly-tying materials, famous destinations, and more!
The performance on the last quiz was pretty good, with three people achieving perfection. Give it up for Clint, Marshall ray, and JP Goulet, who added a “Woot, Woot!” A further fifteen people missed a single question, which is a pretty high ratio. The most common score rose one spot, to 70%.
The winner of this week’s random drawing will receive The Orvis Guide to Leaders, Knots, and Tippets by none other than the great Tom Rosenbauer. This handy take-along book addresses the technical issues surrounding leaders and connections in relation to state-of-the-art line materials and types, and details the best overall knots for fly-line connections.
The winner of our last quiz, and recipient of Goodnews River:Wild Fish, Wild Waters, and the Stories We Find There, by Scott Sadil, is Allen S, whose score is not something he’d want recorded for posterity.
So post your score below (or below the post on our Facebook page!) for a chance to win a great book.
