Easy one this ..... answer the fly fishing general knowledge question correctly and the person that asked it will give you the go ahead to ask the next question in the quiz :wink

So, to get things going ...... What is a "winding check"?

Cheers

PS: If somebody gets the answer right but has not posted a new question within 15 minutes of getting the go ahead ...... anybody that wishes can play "the joker card" and jump in with the next question :wink
