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 that range from fly names to trout anatomy to famous quotes from anglers.
The last quiz was clearly the easiest one ever, if the scores are any indication. In fact, there were fifty-one perfect scores, destroying the old record of 32 (I think). I’m pretty sure that we’ll find that this week’s quiz will bring many of those high-fliers back down to earth.
The randomly chosen winner of this week’s quiz will receive a signed copy of Tom’s book The Orvis Guide to Small Stream Fly Fishing. 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 Trevan Gregory, who missed perfection by a single question (the second time that he’s been a whisker away from 100%).
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!
