Chili Pepper Bonefish Fly – Crazy Charlie Variant

The Chili Pepper is obviously a variant of the crazy Charlie. Its almost identical with a few small differences. One, the color is always either orange or red, usually brightly orange. The other difference is the addition of some flash as a sort of tail off the bend of the hook. Other than that, its quite similar. It is effective for bonefish in the flats, and I know people that have success with other species like redfish and even carp as well for flies tied similar to this.

The beauty of any crazy Charlie variant is they are not difficult to tie. In fact they are down right easy and quick flies to tie. There are some challenges that come into play when tying them, but once you get them down, you can tie them fairly quickly and fill up a flats box in no time.
