Ian, I have a flyfishing friend that just can't seem to catch many fish on the CP. He has no confidence in the fly. We were fishing together one day and I was catching trout almost one after another. Bob could not seem to get a hit. He stood next to me and did what I did but still caught nothing. I finally told him he had to learn to do the "Chili Pepper Stroll". (this is a joke) He only took one trout in the same time I took 33. He still talks about it. Another time we were fishing Buffalo shoals and Bob was not doing real well. I was having a good day with the Pepper. I finally got Bob to tie one of mine on and he did take 8 trout on it. Bob is a better flyfisherman that I will ever be. I guess I will have to send you a couple of the ones I tie. I think I have your snail mail. Maybe you should send it to me off list. Tony

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... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
