Without going into the various "shades", what do you feel are the most
prevalent colors used in fly tying
Grey, Tan, and Olive, but I'd definitely agree with Tony on the peacock thing. Peacock probably used more than any of the other colors/shades. It's that "thing" from nature that is next to impossible to imitate(although we have some substitutes out there today that do a pretty good job of it...). Gary Borger once said, "I don't know what it is about peacock that the fish like so well, but if that's what they want,that's what they're going to get!"
