Welcome to the latest 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 new questions, about everything from exotic tying materials to book titles to famous river locations.
The last quiz was a huge improvement over the previous week, with five perfect scores: All hail Nick, Steve, Judy W., Stephen Fitch, and Roger Bird. Some thirteen respondents missed just a single question, and the most common score jumped way up to a 70%. Way to respond to a tough showing, people!.
The winner of this week’s random drawing will receive Tom Rosenbauer’s great new book The Orvis Guide to Hatch Strategies: Successful Fly Fishing for Trout Without Always Matching the Hatch, from Universe Publishing. Instead of focusing on insect identification, in this book Tom stresses learning how to approach trout, how to find where they feed, and how to present the fly so it is accepted as natural food.
The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org), and recipient of Tom’s new book, was LAZ, whose score was almost in the “most common” range.
So post your score below for a chance to win a great book.
Good luck!
