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 a classic quiz, featuring twenty (20!) questions about kinds of flies.
The last quiz was another difficult one, and there was just a single perfect score. Back slaps and attaboy!s for Charlief (his second time!). Four others missed just a single question, and the most common score fell a notch, to 50%.
The winners of this week’s random drawing will receive a copy of Ben Duschesney’s Kayak Fly Fishing: Everything You Need to Know to Start Catching Fish, from Stackpole Books. Duschesney’s book is a complete guide to fly fishing from a kayak that thoroughly covers techniques, tackle, choosing the right boat and how to rig it, and strategies. I’ve got two copies, so there will be two winners!
The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org), and recipient of a copy of Nick Curcione’s Saltwater Edge: Tips and Tactics for Saltwater Fly Fishing, was gretchen, who said of her score, “Things are looking up.”
So post your score below (or below the post on our Facebook page!) for a chance to win a great book.
Good luck!
