Welcome to another edition of our fly-fishing 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. Are you ready for ten all-new questions on subjects ranging from geography to fly patterns to historical figures?
The scores on last week’s Trivia Challenge were overall quite good, with 80% being the most common score; it’s been awhile since we had so many above C range. A couple of tricky questions tripped up most folks (see one below), but there were still seven perfect scores: Congratulations are in order for Roger, Stephan, DWF, Kenneth (two weeks in a row?), Joe Runco, Sue, and Tom C!

As expected, “sparctic char” tripped up most of you in last week’s quiz.
The randomly chosen winner of this week’s quiz will receive a copy of The Orvis Story, Paul Schullery’s wonderful history of the company. The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org) was okieflier, who scored a very respectable 80%.
So, take this week’s quiz, and no matter how well or poorly you do, post your score in the comments below to be eligible to win a cool book.
Good luck!
