Welcome to the first 2018 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 offer ten new questions about subjects as diverse as famous fly tiers, trout biology, and famous fishing spots.
Performance on last quiz saw a nice jump in 100% scores, as five people achieved perfection. Give it up for Matthew M., Tim S (“Hot diggity!”), Kevin B (“Blind squirrel alert!!!), Peter D, and Judy W. A respectable seven respondents missed perfection by just a single question, and the most common score held steady at 60%.
Streamers tied with Dragon Tails have been hot tickets in salt and fresh water.
The winner of this week’s random drawing will receive a five-pack of Mangum’s Dragon Tails from Orvis, an amazing new material that moves and undulates as it swims.
The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org), was Charlief, whose score was better than average.
So post your score below for a chance to win a great book.
Good luck!
