Jeff, I guess I told this story before. The first Pepper was tied as a joke by Bob Root a pro tyer. It had no name and was the only one that was tied. He gave it to me on the river and I made a comment that I can't say here. Ask me about it when you see me. About six months later, he finally talked me into fishing it. That was Dec 26, 1995. Took 13 trout in 13 casts and broke off on the 14 th fish. Bob tied up some more after that and that is where it all began. When the Chenille he used was all gone, I started tying them with the Copper Chenille and added a gold bead. What I tied for the swap is the original as tied by Bob.
