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 an all-new, ten-question quiz that features questions about game fish, angling terminology, famous rivers, and legendary anglers.
The last quiz showed a great improvement in scores over the previous quiz, with three perfect scores. Pats on the back for Judy W., Richard, and Amy. An astonishing 14 people missed just a single question, and the most common score jumped two spots to 70%.
The winner of this week’s random drawing will receive an autographed copy of Tom Rosenbauer’s completely revised Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide. I edited this book, so I can assure you that it’s fabulous.
The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org), and recipient of Dave Karczynski’s Orvis From Lure to Fly: Fly Fishing for Spinning and Baitcast Anglers is Philip W, whose score did not warrant a prize, but he gets one anyway
So post your score below (or below the post on our Facebook page!) for a chance to win a great book.
Good luck!
