The Metz Book of Hackle

The Metz Book of Hackle by Eric Leiser is a classic and highly regarded reference devoted to one of the most important materials in fly tying—hackle. Leiser combines practical instruction, history, and insight into breeding and selecting quality feathers, with a special focus on Metz hackle and its impact on modern fly tying. Both instructional and historical, the book remains a valuable resource for fly tiers interested in materials, tradition, and the evolution of dry fly design.
