Welcome to the Groundhog Day 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. In keeping with the holiday, here’s a classic series of ten questions about fish names, angling literature, and flies.
On the last quiz, there were five perfect scores, up one from the previous week. Let’s have a slow clap for Steve Longfield, Dan Koshman, James Swiatek, James Mologianes, and Mark Pfetzer. Just five others scored 90%. The most common score plummeted to 40%, and the the toughest question showed that just 16% of you knew the birthplace of the FFF.
The winner of this week’s random drawing will again receive a free download of the excellent new video “Modern Nymphing: European Inspired Techniques,” featuring Devin Olsen and Lance Egan.
The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org), and recipient of this great video was Roger Bird, whose score is not something he’ll be bragging about, but he gets the prize anyway.
So post your score below for a chance to win a video that will help you become a better nymph fisherman.
Good luck!
