Sinking spiders
Here are a few variations on the sinking spider (cap spider) This fly is a heavy hitter when you want to fish a wet fly for gills. It is a very good "cold water
" fly also. Be sure to tie a few of these // (Don't leave home without them) //..........Don in SC

One thing you taught me, Tooty, is there is an almost infinite way to combine common materials and techniques.
Thats what I see here. Don called them variations on the Cap Spider, but a rose by any other name.....
These are awesome. I like the simplicity over the Bully Spider and Humbugs.

Great assortment. Looks like this is a foam pad that was used on the ducky floating fly?
