Welcome to another edition of our 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. To celebrate our first quiz in May, we’ve got ten questions about mayflies. Don’t worry, though: there’s hardly any Latin required.
On the last quiz, there were six perfect scores, tripling the previous quiz tally. All hail Nolan Emery, Dan Sprinkle, Stan, Stephen Fitch, Ben Van Dinther and Nico Sunseri (second quiz in a row for Nico!). Six respondents missed just a single question. The most common score jumped up to a 70%.
The randomly chosen winner of this week’s quiz will receive his or her choice of an Orvis Fly Selection, featuring patterns chosen by Orvis-endorsed professional guides. The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org) was Larry Dorenkamp, who scored a most-common 70%.
So post your score below for a chance at some great stickers.
Good luck!
