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. Here are another ten new questions about fly-fishing authors, fish identification, famous flies, and more!
The last quiz was another real stumper, as there was just a single perfect score: Give it up for Jeremiah, who credits his 100% to “a lucky guess on the Alfred Miller question.” Six respondents scored 90%, and the most common score fell a bit to 60%.
The winner of this week’s random drawing will receive a copy of Bob Clouser’s Fly-Fishing for Smallmouth: in Rivers and Streams, from Stackpole Books. The author shares the extensive knowledge he has developed over a quarter-century of guiding for smallmouth bass and serves up 32 of his favorite patterns.
The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org), and recipent of Tim Lockhart’s Stillwaters Simplified: 7 lessons to help you catch more fish on the fly, was Kenny, who said of his score, “I’ve done worse.”
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!

Do I get an extra point for pointing out that it’s “barbules” and not “barbels”?

Not to nitpick, but its “barbels.” 🙂 Barbules are the tiny projections that make barbs of a feather stick together.
