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 10 classic questions about such diverse subjects as fly-tying materials, famous trout rivers, and fly names.
The last quiz was so difficult that there were zero perfect scores. The highest score was 90%, achieved by jung kuang li, so let’s all offer a polite round of applause. The most common score was perhaps the lowest ever, at 30%. Things should pick up this week, I promise.
The winner of this week’s random drawing will receive a copy of Ed Engle’s Fishing Small Flies, from Stackpole Books. Using tiny patterns that are tough to see can be a trial, and hooking trout with those itty-bitty hooks can be challenging, as well. Engle, a longtime guide in Colorado, is full of great ideas to help.
The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org), and recipient of a Worldwide Trees Trucker Cap, was John Petsch, who attributed his above-average performance to “WAG City!”
So post your score below (or below the post on our Facebook page!) for a chance to win a great book.
Good luck!
