BWO as a common fly name is a strange one. As Mikey said in the US they are Baetis, here in the UK and in Western Europe they are Ephemerella (In the UK specifically Ephemerella Ignita, not sure about the rest of Europe)....... Also just to confuse matters further.... the Ephemerella Ignita has been re-classified as Seratella Ignita.
If you buy pre-dyed dubbing packs from any of the big companies the "BWO" colour of dubbing is usually a lot darker than the BWO insects we get here in the UK as most of the companies are geared toward the bigger US market.
