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 one’s got 10 new questions, dealing with everything from fly-rod anatomy to fishing records to and types of nymphs.
The last quiz was quite a stumper, for there was just one 100% score. Congrats to Gaston Novillo. Nine other people missed perfection by just one question, so there were actually plenty of high scores.
The randomly chosen winner of this week’s quiz will receive a signed copy of Tom’s book The Orvis Guide to Prospecting for Trout. This is the book you need for those times when there is no specific hatch on. Last week’s book winner (as determined by random.org) was Doug T, whose score was below passing but who gets the prize nonetheless.
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 Tom’s book with his inspirational words on the title page.
Good luck!
