    What feathers are useful on the crow and what patterns/applications are they best for?

    The Secondary wing feathers on Crow make awesome Black Gnat bodies.

    I have often used crow breast feathers for legs on stoneflies nymphs or for a black soft hackle pattern.

    Body feathers palmered up a hook make nice leech pattern.
