Isn't that pretty much a cone head matuka w/ an estaz or ice chennille body?
I could see why it would be effective on both smallies and trout - good
color, right amount of flash.
The chili pepper matuka would have been a good pattern for the Chili Pepper
Swap - copper chennille body and orange hackle wing and collar - with or
without the copper cone head. I'll call first right of refusal to tie that
in the next pepper swap!

I was talking to a Wyoming Game & Fish biologist this morning about this
weekend's fishing, considering the snow and run-off. We got to talking
flies and I asked him about the Chili-pepper. He hadn't heard of it, but
his special go-to fly is similar, and it's called the Orange-blossom
Special.
Tough I'd tie up some to compliment my peppers and give it a go, too.

I'd be interested to hear how it works from others. He got it from a friend
from W. Virginia who does a lot of smallmouth fishing. Said it was his
killer pattern, and it worked on Wyoming trout, too.
