Native Licking River Fish or Band I Found on the Internets?

by Becky Example Quiz 1

When I first moved to the Licking River Historical District in Northern Kentucky, my sister kindly read me the wikipedia entry about the history of that fine waterway. And thus, the idea for this quiz was born.

Okay, some of these might be trick questions so the highlighting/score tally might not work properly...

Want to learn more about Kentucky fish? (And honestly, who wouldn't?) The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife has a million resources for the aquatically curious.

  1. I got 9 out of 13 right, although one question I accidentally left blank. So, 9 out of 12. Not too bad for a city slicker.

    Now that I've been educated on Kentucky fish, where's the post on bourbon? ;)
