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. Here’s an all-new set of ten questions about fly patterns, geography, trout species, and more.
Our last quiz was a toughie, with just two perfect scores, achieved by Kable Patten and Nico Sunseri. Six others scored a 90%, and the most popular score fell to 40%. The hardest question was about the species native to Yosemite National Park, and only 10% of you knew that it was rainbow trout.
The winner of this week’s random drawing will receive a free download of the excellent new video “Modern Nymphing: European Inspired Techniques,” featuring Devin Olsen and Lance Egan.
The winner of our last quiz (as determined by random.org), and recipient of this great video was Bernie, who had something quite salty to say about his low score.
So post your score below for a chance to win a video that will help you become a better nymph fisherman.
Good luck!
