    Default Hackle Color?

    The majority of my tying are nymphs, but want to start getting into dries. I plan on ordering some grade 3 capes from Collins, but want some suggestions on colors. I was thinking grizzly, brown, medium dun, and light ginger would be a good start. What do you think of these as a basic color selection for a majority of patterns? I mainly fish western Pennsylvania. In addition, Collins sells barred colors. Would you recommend going with the standard color or possibly a barred dun and ginger instead? Thanks.
