anyone have some flies for cold weather blue gill fishing

I like soft hackles for winter gills. They sink very slowly. If I want to get further down I fish a bead thorax soft hackle.

The best cold water gill fly (technique) I know of is suspending a Cap Spider under an indicator, and fishing it with slow pulls and pauses.... pretty deadly. Basically, if you dont get bit doing this you arent fishing where the gills are.

Here's a link, and there's tying info on YT. I've tried all sorts of colors and combos but I'm convinced that all black is the only way to go.

Cap Spider

Edit: I tried inserting a link, but it isnt working...... just google it.
