L.L. Bean's Phone Number Mixup

January 28, 2006 By: Marshall Cutchin

This has not been a good week for the folks responsible for L.L. Bean’s Spring 2006 Fishing catalog, which has given new meaning to the word ‘hotline.’ If you dial the number they print as their “Fishing Hotline” on page two, you will be greeted with something less than quaint: an actress introducing an explicit phone sex line.
If you want to call the correct number for the fishing hotline, which connects you to one of their fly fishing experts, it’s 800-347-4552.
