Questions need to give any legit fisherman the oportuntiy to join so don't make it too US centric - I've been here 11 years and would struggle with one or two of those

If you were looking for something automated, a multiple choice approach might work:

i) How many States in the USA? a) 44, b) 48, c) 50, d) 66
ii) Which has the biggest population? - a) Scotland, b) England, c) Wales
iii) Fly is to Flyrod as Plug is to - a) Lathe, b) Reel, c) Spinrod
The more questions, the less chance of an automated spammer getting a "pass mark".

Figuring in that a handfull of the people who join (and still remain ) probably couldn't state why the striped bass is so named we should probably go with something a little easier that an english speaker would be able to figure out, prefferably an english speaker from this side of the pond. Not to exclude those from the other side of the pond but we do get very few of those and some have been from spammed .UK addresses (co-opted machines or email addys I think).

I figure 3 or 4 random questions with one of them being asked at registration time would be sufficient.

Problem is, these wouldn't be good questions for new users...unless they had been lurking around the Scuppers a bit
