Some of you might be aware, some not, that a serious situation has arisen at the Idylwilde Flies camp in the last couple of weeks. Zach Mertens, owner of Idylwilde, is essentially being "held hostage" by his Philippine production entity. They are refusing to ship flies to any of Idylwilde's dealers. This is obviously a huge problem for all of us dealers and Idylwilde. They aren't just messing with Idylwilde, they're messing with fly shops and the anglers who appreciate the quality of Idylwilde flies.
One of the purposes of this post is to make customers aware that we have run into an issue on fly supply but are working diligently to solve the problem. It is our desire to try and come to a solution that gives us Idylwilde flies, They are the best! failing that, we will take the necessary steps to acquire flies.
If you are like us, and think that Idylwilde quality is as good as it gets, drop a note of support at https://www.facebook.com/IdylwildeFlies Zach will certainly appreciate and notes off support.
HI Mike - thank you for the support, loyalty and kind words about my company. I am doing everything in my power to right the situation and get flies shipped to you!
