Jim my simple answer is that if I am tying Catskill flies for a plate I will try and tie with natural dun. But for any other tying it just does not matter to me. I use what I have or what I can get for the best price. That is as simple as I can get. Ron
Can one more party throw in their 2 cents worth? That's why I buy my hackle exclusively from Denny. I tell him what I want and if I can't handle it personally before I buy it, he gets me exactly what I want. Never fails me. I know you're talking about Whiting products, but I had to throw Denny's product in the mix here. And to copy tyeflies, this comes with the usual disclaimers. Ron.. I have one for you. I believe you mentioned you have about all the colors of dun. I bought a chocolate dun variant from Denny I am almost afraid to use, it's just that pretty of a neck.

Jim,
All things being equal I'd go natural.
