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 offer ten brand-new questions about fish biology and classification, fly inventors, geography, and more!
The last quiz must have been pretty easy, since eight people scored 100%. Give it up for shoo-fly, Daniel B, Joseph Bartholomew, Joe Dunmire, Bill E, Charlief, Chris S, and John Petsch. An astonishing 18 respondents scored 90%, and the most common score jumped up to 70%.
The winner of this week’s random drawing will receive a copy of Tim Lockhart’s book
Stillwaters Simplified: 7 lessons to help you catch more fish on the fly, from Stackpole Books. The book offers critical lessons from a stillwater fly-fishing junkie for catching more trout in lakes, ponds, and reservoirs–including timing, strategy, patterns, and more
The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org), and recipent of a copy of Ed Engle’s Tying Small Flies, was Ron A, whose score was better than average.
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!
