Closing down flytyer.org

https://flytyer.org have been running for a long time, it was initiated a long time ago, and the plan was to build up a site with a community around it. The site never got much traction, and with constant updates and a lack of features I have decided to close it down.

I will get something back up on flytyer.org in the future, but with a real plan and content around it. The domain is good, and it deserves something better than it has today.

Thanks to those that used it, and It will be back in the future!

William Blacker: Standard Flies 1. The Wren Tail Fly

Tip: Gold
Tail: Drake, two fibres
Body: Mohair, amber
Hackle: Wren tail
Wing: Partridge, grey tail

The Wren Tail Fly from The Art of Angling by William Blacker. The one above is tied in hand on a vintage blind-eye hook, while the three below all are tied for fishing on Ahrex FW580 #10.

Substituted the wren tail since that is not an option to get my hands on. The wing is also not 100% to pattern, but close enough to the spirit of the pattern
