Anyone tie with Crow feathers?

Anyone tie with Crow feathers?

I shoot a couple crows every year, just started tying. Wondering what kind of saltwater or bass streamers I could tie with some crow feathers. If you have tied with crow feathers, PLEASE SHARE PICS! Also if you have an understanding of which feathers I could use for what application on a technical level, I’m interested to know.

Is there an easier to use whip finisher than this thing?

So I’m a total newb to tying. Pretty much the only thing I’m struggling with is whip finishing. Would I have an easier time learning with a different style of whip finished? I got this Dr Slick one in a kit from my local shop I’ve seen several different styles, and the loon one looks interesting.

What is this belly material and how do I flatten/crease it like this?

What is this Mylar tubing belly material and does it come flattened/creased like this or do I have to do that myself? Just got my first vise on Friday (renzetti saltwater traveler) and I’ve been trying to find more of these flies for years, figure I should just replicate it on my own now that I have the setup. Anyone recognize this fly pattern? (The bunny strip is supposed to be secured at the bend of the hook)
