Every time you sit down and tie a fly with Metz feathers, you take part in one of the greatest hatches in history. It began in 1972, when Buck Metz incubated just 82 chicks, genetically selected for superior color and hackle, and started to breed the legendary Metz line. After 25 years of methodical selection, Metz offers the world’s largest variety of premium fly tying hackles.
Metz saddles offer long, softer hackles that are the perfect choice for larger dry flies, streamers, and Woolly Buggers. Some hackle is dry fly quality. Metz Micro-Barb saddles offer extra-long narrow hackles that are excellent, as well as the best value, for tying dry flies in the 12–16 size range.
