Welcome to another edition of our weekly trivia challenge, in which we test your knowledge of all things fly fishing and where you might learn a thing or two about this sport we love. Here’s a classic quiz, featuring ten questions about famous trout rivers, fly-pattern ID, angling history, and more.
Our last quiz continued our run of difficult challenges, with just three perfect scores, earned by Matthew M, Donavan Clary, and Larry. Eleven others missed just one question, and the most popular score jumped up to 60%. The hardest question was about which Utah river empties into the Great Salt Lake (hint: the Weber).
The winner of this week’s random drawing will receive a free download of the excellent new video “Modern Nymphing: European Inspired Techniques,” featuring Devin Olsen and Lance Egan. Here’s what last week’s winner had to say about it: “Just got done watching the video. If I had to buy it, which I was going to do if I hadn’t won it, it would be worth every penny. It made me want to start trying it next time I hit the stream! Am looking forward to tying up some leaders and trying it.”
The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org), and recipient of this great video was Eric Ball, who is part of the “most popular” crowd.
So post your score below for a chance to win a video that will help you become a better nymph fisherman.
Good luck!

Are brook trout a “species of trout”…thought they are char?
80%. Can live with that.
90% but I object. The Atlantic salmon is the only androgynous fish in the group and is therefore different from all the rest.
Brown trout can also be anadromous. . . .
You scored 70%! Those questions about western rivers always throw me for a loop! No pun intended!
