Metz #1 Hen Neck

Metz #1 Hen Necks deliver the soft, flowing hackle that serious fly tiers demand. With feathers ranging from delicate small sizes to medium proportions, these capes handle everything from intricate soft hackles and wet flies to full-bodied nymph and streamer patterns. The deep black dye is rich and consistent throughout, while thin, pliable stems make wrapping effortless. Those signature webby fibers naturally sweep back, creating the perfect collar action for traditional wets, classic salmon patterns, and steelhead designs. Grade #1 quality means maximum usable feathers per cape, crisp edges, and reliable uniformity—exactly what you need when soft hackles and wets are your go-to patterns.
