jjtroutbum Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 TROUT QUIZ There were several questions that I should have known. 6/10 You know trout!

flytyer57 Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 TROUT QUIZ There were several questions that I should have known. 6/10 You know trout! That's what I scored and I don't normally fish for trout. There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid.
fishinwrench Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 9/10 You really know trout! We're guessing you can lay down a pinpoint 40' cast in a stiff wind and tie a blood knot with your eyes closed. In fact, we think it's safe to say... You DO Know Trout — and you've been entered in our grand prize drawing to win a Dream Fishing Trip and fly fishing gear package from Orvis! I missed the stupid Alaskan salmon question. I bet Phil and Babler could ace it.
dennis boatman Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 No fair googling! A strike indicator is just a bobber...
Kayser Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 9/10. Mixed up the mayfly spinner/dun question. WARNING!! Comments to be interpreted at own risk. Time spent fishing is never wasted.

Trout Commander Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 8/10 You really know trout! We're guessing you can lay down a pinpoint 40' cast in a stiff wind and tie a blood knot with your eyes closed. In fact, we think it's safe to say... You DO Know Trout — and you've been entered in our grand prize drawing to win a Dream Fishing Trip and fly fishing gear package from Orvis! I admittedly guessed right on 2 or 3 though. I have spent most of my money on fly fishing and beer. The rest I just wasted. The latest Trout Commander blog post: Niangua River Six Pack
Gavin Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 7/10...missed the char, sockeye, and insect water quality question...still fun. Thanks.
trout fanatic Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 1 for 1, then they asked for my e-mail add and I quit.
mhall02 Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 This answer to one of the questions is a little subjective I think. To use any sort of coloration/spots as part of a fish identification is usually not a solid basis. Spots/color can be dependant on water clairity, light conditions, environment etc. Take for instance the difference between a rainbow trout fresh out of the Neosho Fish Hatchery compared to the rainbow trout caught out of Crane Creek, or a largemouth caught out of a muddy pond vs a clear creek. There is a very visible difference, but it is the same species. Fish ID is generally based on things like fin to body length ratio, presence or absence of adipose fins, number of scales counted on the lateral line, mouth location and shape, etc. I guessed on some of the bug ID, founding of TU, and number of Salmon. 6/10 I was a little leary of providing the e-mail address, hopefully this was not a spammer of some sort. The questions seemed legit for trout that a run of the mill scammer wouldn't do.
