I don't have any jackdaw wings, but I did find a pair from of European magpie in my "stash". FWIW, the body was pre-spun on a block.

Really cool pattern Bill. That hook is very interesting. I do not know why, but when I first looked at it, it looked like it had just jumped out of an old Herters catalog.

Thanks, Wayne. That hook is a Size #16 Mustad 94842, the ancestor of their current R50U.

Bill,
The entire fly is magpie-nificent! The magpie hackles are really very good looking and buggy! I would think this one to be very effective over some snotty-nosed bluegators...
Very nice Bill! As always, we are impressed and amazed at your tying prowess!!!
Doug
Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.
