Dark watchett

[wingman]

Hopefully going to try a few of these in the next week or so as I've tied about 50 of them as i need the practice. A great little pattern but can be slightly tricky to tie. Tied on a FM short shank hook size 16

Nice tying wingman. Short shank size 16, Dark Watchett tied spider style, short on a short shank. Thats tiny.

Thanks eddie mot and wobbly, it is fairly small yes and the short shanks are a bit of an acquired taste although some flies tend to look better on them than tied on other hooks so its a question of finding out which ones.

I've also tied a few more of these up, very similar to the march brown but the hare's supposed to be dubbed fairly sparse. This ones tied on a kamasan B405 size 12

Turton's red spider

Looking good Mark
The watchett can be tricky and a lot just rib it with the puple thread rather than laying it at the same time.
Is it tied on a B160
