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. This week, we’ve got 10 NEW questions to make your brain itch.
Remember: you can submit full quizzes or individual questions by emailing them to monahanp@orvis.com. Each week, one of the question submitters will get a pack of cool stickers.
The scores on the last Trivia Challenge were an improvement over last week. The average score remained 70%, but the number of perfect scores jumped to 8. Mad props to Tom S, Pete Haws, Max, Ben Kroon, Doug, Kenneth, Nathan D, and Shawn.

It seems that the inconnu is aptly named. (It means “unknown.”)
The randomly chosen winner of this week’s quiz will receive packet of super-cool stickers. The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org) was Jack Pirson, who not only scored his personal-best 90%, but also will get some stickers in the mail.
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 some great stickers for your car, boat, guitar, or whatever you want.
Good luck!
