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 a brand-new quiz, featuring 10 questions, about such varied topics as fish biology, the sources of river, and fly patterns.
The previous quiz tripped up many people, and there were no perfect scores. However, for the second week in a row, seven respondents missed just a single question, so put your hands together for MarkT, Brandon Morris, Keith, Brad Hudson, Jacob, Kevin B, and Daniel B. The most common score fell two spots, to 60%.
The winner of this week’s random drawing will receive a free digital copy of “Modern Nymphing Elevated,” in which anglers Devin Olsen and Lance Egan offer thorough instruction and theory to advance your understanding and effectiveness on the water. Casting, common drift mistakes, arm & rod positioning, managing line & leader, sighter angles, strike detection, drift principles, stream positioning, approach, and many other elements are meticulously covered to provide an in-depth nymphing masterclass.
The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org), and recipient of the video above, was Sam, whose score was nothing to write home about
So post your score below (or below the post on our Facebook page!) for a chance to win a great book.
Good luck!
