As Mike says, in the UK this is an old Northern standard pattern serving
as a representation of the Iron Blue dun. A hackled fly always fished
wet.

the Dark Watchet is alsoe know by other names viz.

Iron Blue Dun
Little Iron Blue
Little Water-hen (when wings are needed the breast feather of the water
hen are used)
Little dark Dun

I used to use Andalusian cock haclkes for whisks and hackle

*paraleptophlebia adoptiva*.

early april.)

Dear Wayne

That might well be the species that you call Iron Blue Dun but the
species that we in Wales know as Iron Blue Dun is Baetis Muticus...

http://www.fishing-in-wales.com/advice/flylife.htm

Although in other parts of the UK I think the name also applies to
Baetis Niger, Baetis Pumilus and Baetis Digitatus.

Just to complicate matters I think some of these have been re-named in
recent years and the following are also now in use: Nigrobaetis Niger,
Nigrobaetis Digitatus and Alainites Muticus...

How big is your species..? Ours is small - about 7mm..
