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 20 questions (twenty!), about famous fly-fishing waters from around the country and around the world.
The performance on the previous quiz was a big improvement, with three perfect scores. Give it up for Jonathan Byrn, Travis Tipton, and S Henry. Seven of you missed just a single question, and the most common score held steady at 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 MarkT, whose score was well above average.
So post your score below (or below the post on our Facebook page!) for a chance to win a great book.
Good luck!
