Danoinark Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Rolan, I still have some Peppy you gave me at the tying night at Phil's. I took some pictures but don't think I took a closeup of the bug. Dano Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
Greg Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Nope. I haven't run out of "Peppy" fir. This fly imitates a scud which is gray in color. I use it in sizes 18 to 10's with a weighted size 12 being my favorite on Taneycomo. It was originally posted in the original flies section of Ozark Anglers though appears to have been lost in the transition to the new format. I don't know if Phil has the pics to redisplay the tying of this fly. Many years ago my wife used to shear our dog, a cockapoo, in the spring to make him more comfortable in the warm weather. His name was "Peppy". I started saving that fir and developed the Peppy scud which is still one of the best flies I have ever used on Taneycomo. Peppy died in 1988. He was a great friend to our family. The gray cockapoo fir is blended with gray antron which provides some sparkle to the fly. I will check my old picture files and see if I still have the pictures. If so, I will post it. Rolan Rolan thanks for sharing. Greg "My biggest worry is that my wife (when I'm dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it" - Koos Brandt Greg Mitchell
ohmz138 Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Thanks for all the moral support on the pomeranians!!!! I totally agree with the barking cat thing!
Gatorjet Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Roland, I herd the story of the Peppy Scud a few years ago from Phil. From that time on I have considered both the fly, and you beloved dog as Taneycomo classics! Cat that barks! Our Pomeranian's favorite toy is our cat!! He drags him around by the ear while the cat meows and meows. Then when the dog is resting the cat attacks him and runs away. I think your right. Real men go propless!
