If there was a fly that is better than the Rubber Spider for catching bluegill or red devils..... it's a sinking rubber spider. Since red devil don't take a surface lure, I figured I would try the Cap Spider.
Here is a link showing how to tie this easy to make fly.

Clay and I were testing my new cap spiders today and the results were great.
The Cap Spider I was using was tied on a 1/64 oz. jig head. I tried different color bodies and legs... most everything worked.
The RD were deep because of the rise in water level so the heavy flys worked well. I want to tie some lighter ones. I was thinking some with a bead head, or no weight at all afor a really slow sink rate.
Look at the hump on this 1 pound male.... one of the largest I've ever seen.
That's not all they catch. How about this 2 pound catfish?
And there is that little fly, right in the corner of it's mouth.
Here is another shot of the Cap Spiders... It's an easy fly to tye., and lucky for me..... quality is not important to the fish... LOL
