Welcome to another edition of our trivia challenge, where 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 twenty (20!) questions about fly names.
The performance on the last quiz was about the same as the previous week, with no perfect scores. However, there were five 90-percenters: Congrats to Justin D, Winston, Mark P, Eric J., and Cindi Vetter (who admitted to some help from a friend). The most common score plummeted to a 50%.
We continue to have two (2!) randomly chosen prize winners per week, thanks to Beattie Outdoor Productions. One winner will receive a copy of Fishtails—the latest compilation DVD, containing all of the films from the last 4 years of filming—and the other will get Carpland, a documentary-style adventure film about the history of carp in the United States.
Our last winners (as determined by random.org)—who will receive one of the DVDs above—were Mark and Doug R.
So post your score below for a chance at winning one of two great DVDs.
Good luck!
