Tying with crow

[brannan]

Just got 2 crow wings - wondering what they are good for? Or am I best chucking them? Cheers

The big night flea.

Chuck them in the post to me if you're desperate to get rid.

Crow Feathers
The Crow is often over looked as a source for North Country hackles, but the wings have plenty of useable feathers for dressing spider and North Country type flies.The wings also have a generous number of black and ink blue covert feathers that can be used on many spiders and North Country type trout flies.

The is also a reference to a Cockscrow fly on this forum 12 Feb 2009, using crow feathers.

Finally, heavier sea trout patterns often use crow feathers.

Clyde style flies and Kingsmill wet fly.

[andypandy]

could even use some of the feathers for up wing dries and as already said they are used in north country spiders.
