Does anyone know what happend to this site? It was an online shop for SW Flies by Andy Elliot but now its a web form page. Has it relocated or has it gone gone?

Hi Lenny, unfortunately it seems Andy has cancer so the site is down for the immediate future. This message is displayed on the page now:
The fly shop is down for 6 months , I’ve been diagnosed with lymphoma and the chemo is going to be a bit rough on me
So I’ve decided to temporarily  stop tying commercially
I am going to use this down time to redesign the site and this is the start of it
If anyone’s interested in following my battle with cancer i’ve started a blog

Shocking

He will be back better than ever - beyond doubt working with him for the past few years he and his flies have become part of the success I enjoy with many customers in Wexford - building and shaping already established patterns into a range that I now couldnt fish without - many samples here http://www.probassfisher.com/search/lab ... %20Reports

My God sorry to hear that. Hope all goes well for you. Feel like a right Idiot now.

This site is excellent and back up now ! though he is not selling for a while there is a mine of info for tying and fishing the man is amazing

Andy is a true gent and is very passionate about what he does. When I first heard that he wasn’t well I was very saddened. I had the pleasure of meeting him last year when I was out fishing and we had a quick chat about various things, mainly about bass fishing which we both love to do. I could tell right away from talking to him for just a short time that he knows what he is talking about and his website is the proof of that. If you haven’t seen it yet then I recommend you have a look, it’s well worth it, especially for those of you who are into fly fishing for bass.

I always tie flies this time of the year since my days as a freshwater only angler and you passed the winter like that. Im tying bass flies last couple of years and this man is an inspiration id love to have a cast with him i really hope he returns to full health soon im sure he will he seems very determined pat

I second that Pat, I also hope he returns to full health soon, for sure the impression I got from meeting him was one of a person who is a very strong, determined and focused individual and I wish him all the best.
