For the "original" chili pepper recipe go to http://www.flyanglersonline.com and go to the Fly Tying section. Then go to the Fly Archives. Under 3rd quarter 2003 you'll find a recipe, illustrated step by step by Tony Spezio.

A friend sent a couple in a one-to-one swap, and it took me way too
long to tie one on the end of the tippet.
Fish really do like that thing! I was recently fishing a pond with a
good quantity of rainbows up to four pounds, and they were just
smashing it. You could see the younger fish swirling around the fly
trying to get the courage to take it. But the big fish were laying
deeper and waiting for it get there! The fly finally disintegrated,
trailing red thread and dangling the broken grizzly hackle by one end
of the wrap.
This one is tied on a 3XL Size 10 hook equivalent to a #10 Dai Riki 710.
What are the extremes of hook sizes that you know Chili Peppers have
been successfully fished? I am interested in tying them both larger and
smaller, but don't want to be wasting materials on sizes that don't
work?
Also, during Chat, DonO suggested that maybe the trout think the Chili
Pepper is a dace. That would be a possibility in the water I was
fishing, as it holds dace. Any other ideas on what the fish think this
fly is?
Thanks,
