Umpqua Metz Crab/Shrimp Hackle Pack Grizzly – Grizzly Feathers for Crab & Shrimp Fly Patterns

Experience the subtle, natural appeal of Grizzly tones with the Metz Crab/Shrimp Hackle Pack Grizzly. These hen feathers feature soft, webby fibers with delicate stems that contribute a lifelike texture to crab and shrimp fly patterns, without overpowering the overall silhouette.

Designed to keep tying sessions efficient, this pack emphasizes uniform feather size across the batch. That consistency helps you build clean collars, crab claws, and shrimp-inspired elements quickly, so you can focus more on the overall composition rather than hunting for the right feather.

Versatility that repeats across patterns

Grizzly hackle color provides a flexible palette suitable for various light conditions and water types. The feather's light, airy texture can be used singly for subtle movement or layered for added body and realism, depending on your pattern goals.

How it fits into your tying workflow

Because the pack contains consistently sized feathers, you can plan your step sequence with confidence. This minimizes guesswork when selecting components for collars, claws, and shrimp-based design elements, helping you maintain a smooth, repeatable process.
