JC:

The place is staying is business, just not the fly fishing end of it, they sell other outdoor sporting goods and have been around for a long time.

But I'm confused, while I do realize there are sponsors who are fly shops, most appear to be manufacturers. So if this store, (which shall remain nameless), sells products that are made by FAOL sponsors, (at least 20 by my count), doesn't that help the sponsors too?

I have seen lots of people pointed to fly shops that are not sponsors on other threads. I'm not trying to ruffle anybody feathers, (pardon the pun), I just wanted to help some guys get a deal on some stuff that they may want or need for a discount.

Sorry! .

You can kill the thread if you like, unlike other PA anglers on this site, I don't mind deleted posts .
