Imnaha Canyon Quiz

Test your knowledge of the Imnaha Canyon with this quiz –

True or false: Imnaha garden tomatoes are the finest in all the land, often growing to the size of softballs.

False. The correct answer is bocce balls.

Complete the following sentence: Fishing the Imnaha River is _______.

. . . not advised if you will be in Jon's way.

If you look carefully on the opposite riverbank in the photo below you see ______.



Answer: Cam Scott, Fishtrap Writer In Residence, fishing for steelhead with a sunburst lighting things up. (Also accepted: "sun rays" in place of sunburst.)

Multiple choice –

Wynne Auld is shown here:

A) Bugling for elk.
B) Using a cooking pot for a mirror.
C) Nobody really knows.
D) Drinking coffee.

Answer: D. Drinking coffee. Not pictured: wiping coffee off her jacket.

Moving onto the bonus round, give yourself extra points if you don't know where this next photo was taken because I don't want you to know where Cam and I were fishing.


Story problem: If Jon manages to catch a steelhead and Cam nets it for him but Jon messes around getting the fish's teeth off the mesh of the net and a train leaves Saint Louis at the same time, then the picture of Jon holding the fish will take place when?


Answer: Never. The fish has enough of this nonsense and just releases itself.

And finally, for the audio daily double, make the sound a beaver makes when gnawing down trees and then chewing the bark off, because, man, the beavers are on a rampage down there right now. I saw more beaver activity in two days than an entire season of watching Oregon State football.


That concludes the Imnaha River Canyon quiz. If you scored 48 points or more you win an order of fried gizzards from the Imnaha Tavern. Just send the receipt to my house, c/o Gizzard Sweepstakes Rebate Division.
