Not to disparage a FAOL sponsor, but... I have recently started tying my own flies, and being a long time sponsor, I naturally went to them. Well, long story short, out of 5 or 6 orders, not one had everything I ordered. I have backorders dating back a month plus at this point. When I contacted Ron on the phone a few weeks ago, he was apologetic, but basically told me that he had thousands of items and couldn't keep them all in stock. ??? I make all of my orders via their website,and know that it is not that big a deal to have a system where out of stock items are listed as such. Their prices are quite good, when the online discount is applied, but I have had to go elsewhere to get materials I need. These events have pretty much soured me on buying from them again.
