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 ten all new questions about female fly fishers, fly casters, and fly tiers, to celebrate International Women’s Day.
The scores on the last quiz were a slight improvement over the previous week, as there were three perfect scores. All hail Mike, Joseph Bartholomew, and andrew howard (second week in a row!). Just three people scored 90%, fourteen got 80%, and the most common score held firm, at 60%.
Streamers tied with Dragon Tails scored big with brown trout this fall.
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. If you missed the Facebook Live video, in which Tom Rosenbauer and Jesse Haller talked about how to tie with Dragon Tails, check it out here.
The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org), and recipent of a copy of Chris Santella’s The Tug is the Drug, from Stackpole Books, was Joe, whose score was nothing to crow about.
So post your score below (or below the post on our Facebook page!) 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!
