Quiz on The Fly Fishing Rabbi and Hanukkah

Happy Holidays! In appreciation of everyone who comes to visit The Fly Fishing Rabbi, and to celebrate this joyous time of year, I am offering a quiz that I hope will be fun and I will be giving away prizes.

Everyone who emails me any answer, right or wrong, will receive a free Fly Fishing Rabbi refrigerator magnet. Here’s a picture of that fine item:

The prizes up for grabs in the quiz are:

1. Fly Fishing Rabbi stuff: You may choose any one item from the new Fly Fishing Rabbi site at CafePress.com: www.cafepress.com/flyfishingrabbi

Check out bumper-stickers, mugs, hats and t-shirts with the Fly Fishing Rabbi logo.

2. Kerplunk!, the new book by Patrick F. McManus which chronicles his humorous outdoor adventures. This is my favorite quote from the book so far:

“I myself often receive criticism from persons who accompany me on camping trips because they are seldom mentioned in my articles. ‘You are in every sentence practically, and we weren’t even mentioned once. Besides, the facts are all wrong.’ That is the way the complaint is commonly phrased. I respond, ‘If you want to be mentioned, write your own story. And don’t bother me anymore about facts.’”

Two copies of Kerplunk! are available, courtesy of the publisher, Simon & Schuster.

3. Basket of Nuts or Chocolate: One $20 dollar gift certificate for a holiday gift basket of nuts, chocolate or dried fruit, provided by Oh! Nuts, http://www.ohnuts.com/.

The company was also kind enough to offer a free 10% discount to any reader of The Fly Fishing Rabbi. To use the discount, enter the following code at checkout: HBFD1120.
