Hello, I will host a swap - "The Secret Chili Pepper Swap" This should be fun!!
Let's face it, we all tweak Tony's original pattern not just based upon what we have in our fly tying material drawers, but some of us have new an interesting variations to this pattern. For example, I like a black tungsten heat with a trifecta of marabou: black, burnt orange, and brown in the tail. I always find it difficult to tie a bunch of the same peppers as little modifications are common place with this type of fly. After all, it is a variation of a wooly bugger. So without further ado, let us all tie 26 of our Secret Chili Peppers (1 for Byard). I will take the first 25 of you that respond send me email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Email me what Ingredient makes your Chili Pepper Secret. All flies need to be sent to me by December 1st. On December 2, I will mix, swap, and mail on Dec 3rd. So international please plan for delays and mail by early / mid November. That's right, this gives everyone almost 4 months - almost 100 days. This means tie 1 Secret Chili Pepper every 4 days and you will be all set. These flies will come just in time for a wonderful Christmas present to yourself. Flies ship to me at: Chris Chapman 61 Forest Lane Boscawen, NH 03303 Include self addressed envelope, $3.00 domestic, $6.00 international (change will be returned) I will post all flies and pictures on the web (after I send them out) So no need for toe tags. The website link and information will be posted by the time you get your swap flies. Thanks. Chappy www.chappysguide.com p.s. I will be teaching a fly tying class from September 25 - November 6th and one in February. A swap like this will help get the rust out once I hang up the rods... And besides, getting 25 different Chili Peppers from the VFB'ers is truly a wonderful Christmas present to open...
