I thought I was through with swaps but I think I will have to do this one. The Chili Pepper I tie is not the original Pepper as it was first tied by Bob Root as a joke. I added the gold bead and used brown hackle for the rib. The original had Ginger Hackle. The original chenille was Ginger and Pearl mix. I went to the Copper when the original chenille ran out. I will tie them as I tie them now,they are not the original. Tony
