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. This week, we’ve got ten classic questions about fly inventors, famous tailwaters, fish species, and more!
The scores on the last quiz saw a bit of improvement over the previous week, as there were two perfect scores. All hail Doug and andrew howard. Eight folks scored 90%, and the most common score dipped again, to 60%.
The winner of this week’s random drawing will receive a copy of Chris Santella’s The Tug is the Drug, from Stackpole Books, which contains thirty stories that take readers from leaping makos near the fairways of Torrey Pines to midnight Atlantic salmon fishing on the fabled Ponoi to encounters with very friendly mujeres on the streets of Havana.
The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org), and recipent of Bob Clouser’s Fly-Fishing for Smallmouth: in Rivers and Streams, was Jeff Siegel, who pitched one right down the middle.
So post your score below for a chance to win a great book. And we finally got the answer key back, so you can know exactly what you missed and why.
Good luck!
