Welcome to another edition of our trivia challenge, where 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 10 new questions about tributaries. Each question asks you to identify the water into which a famous fly-fishing river empties.
The performance on the last quiz was down a bit from the week before, with just one perfect score: Steve West, who claimed that his achievement was the result of “Luck- pure and simple.” Only two people scored a 90%, Winston and johnnydajeweler, and the most common score fell to 40%.
For the next few weeks, we will have two (2!) randomly chosen prize winners per week, thanks to Beattie Outdoor Productions. One winner will receive a copy of Fishtails—the latest compilation DVD, containing all of the films from the last 4 years of filming—and the other will get Carpland, a documentary-style adventure film about the history of carp in the United States.
Our last winner (as determined by random.org)—who will receive a copy of Fly-Casting Finesse, by John L. Field—was Cindi, whose score was low enough that she wrote “ouch!” right after it. (Exactly like last week’s winner!)
So post your score below for a chance at winning a great casting book.
Good luck!
Do you know where the Deschutes River ends?
