If you remember back a couple of months. I tied up some Orange Chilli Peppers. Well I like Orange flies for winter (yes it is winter here in the Southern Hemisphere).

Well I tied a bunch, and on Saturday I went fishing we 3 fellow fly fishers. I gave each of the guys a few flies, including the Orange Chilli Pepper.

It was pretty cold at the Lake, and very wet; it rained all day. Water temp was 5 Degreees Celsius, but the water felt warmer than the air.

Fairly new to fly fishing the lakes, one of the guys listened eagerly to my story about the success of Orange flies, and tied it straight on is leader. It turned out to be a good choice; he had 3 Red Fin (English Perch)  in about 10 casts.

We all persisted with our flies for about an hour while he continued to catch while we didnt. Pretty soon everyone had the Orange Chilli Pepper tied on and we were all fishing with confidence.

BY the end of the day, 5 browns and countless Perch had been landed.  BUT unfortunately I hooked NOTHING.. this is why I hate Chilli Peppers...
