April Fools!

You didn't really think we'd sell to a bait shop, did you?

FAOL has not been acquired by anyone — especially not by someone named Chuck Sinker.

The truth is actually better than the joke: we've been working behind the scenes on a complete rebuild of FlyAnglers Online — new platform, all 14,784 fly patterns preserved, 29 years of articles and community content brought forward.

Same community. Same spirit. Better everything else.

We'll be back online tomorrow, April 2nd, with the new site. Your bookmarks, your patterns, your stories — they're all coming with us.

New FAOL launches in
--:--:--
By Anglers, For Anglers — Since 1997. No worms. No bait. No surrender.
No nightcrawlers were harmed in the making of this prank. Peacock herl remains legal. For now.
