I’ve decided to extend the date on the Bucket Mouth League Photo Contest to give everyone a little more time. As another fly fisher pointed out, the fall bite is about to be on, so it wouldn’t hurt to extend the date.

The new deadline for the photo contest is

October 15th, 2015

So now there is even more reason and no excuses for you not to enter the contest!

Check out the rules and announcement here!

Thanks for following FrankenFly!
