A recent entry into the LAFF (Lagerville Anglers Fly Fishing club) Catch of the Month contest was just too close to the camera. The sensational whitefish was caught by whitefish angler and Lagerville resident Chris G. Willikers on a recent outing to the Salmon River. Willikers journeyed down to the end of Painter Mine Road to catch this marvelous whitefish out of the Salmon. Using BWOs that “matched the hatch” and a little hunk of worm, Willikers was able to land dozens of spectacular whitefish, but the photo of his best catch of the day was just too close to be considered for the LAFF Catch of the Month.

“Ooh, gawd that is just too close,” grimaced LC Parker, a Catch of the Month Judge, as she turned away while being shown the Catch of the Month entry. “Nobody wants to see Willikers that close.”
“Gee,” said Willikers, “I extended my arm as far as it would go and it was still just too close. I have no one to blame but myself for having short arms. Next time I’ll probably bring along ol' Tripod.”
Another Catch of the Month Judge and founder of LAFF, Mayor Porad Skinner, said, “Yes, that is pretty darn close. Too close if ya ask me. If we let Willikers get away with this too close entry, then pretty soon people will be sending in entry photos that are even closer. That is not in the spirit intended by LAFF when we instituted LAFF's Catch of the Month.”
There are two more weeks left in the month, so Willikers has more time to try again for the LAFF Catch of the Month. Wish him luck!
I was talkin' to this waitress who had a real attitude problem....anyway she said she's a pro-photographer on the side, and the problem had nothing to do with any short arms. "Hardly..." was her reply to that, with a wink. In fact, she thinks the problem is my camera is too small.
