I primarily fish for big bluegills and don't target bass much. I often use poppers, ants or spiders on the surface, wooley worms/buggers/grubs, montana stone or bitch creek for subsurface. I haven't had to try much past those. Something in the list will catch them.

Adams. Did I mention Adams?

For bass I'd go with a black, black/brown and yellow wooley buggers.  I've picked them up on Carey Specials too.

Here in our state if it swims in fresh water (and even some of the salt water fish too) it will go for a Carey Special.   I fish with other flies too but will not leave home without my Carey’s.

My favorite fly for bluegill is an Accardo "Bream Master"  chartreuse with an orange flash underneath.  It is a small slider with spindly spider legs.  Splat it on the water and DON'T move it--you will need about a 4 second drift past any likely spot

Muddler Minnows work pretty good on bass.

for bass i like the annes and the deerhair mouse. they are great fun to fish and the strikes can be spectacular!

 a black anne is hard to beat. if you can tie them yourself, it's even better!

 i got a bunch of one eyed and no eyed annes. those bass eat em right off!
lol!

 i tie a mouse out of deerhair as well with a good piece of rubber band in it for the tail. they like that tail!

 it's lots of fun creating some frowsy concoction and then seeing if the bass are mean enough to tackle it. they mostly will!

 a 9 wt. rod helps a lot in flinging those big bushy bugs.

                                                       luck!

For sunfish I want durable flies because I catch a lot of fish. Commerical foam or cork poppers seem to work best. I haven't been able to tie anything better.  For bass, I've found nothing better than the big deer-hair bugs in large sizes (Size 1/0 or 2/0 hook.) Hairabou dressing for the tail helps deal with the weight and water retention problem with bugs this big. I also use a good floatant and drying crystals to keep the big bugs in good fishing condition.  When tying such bugs it really pays to reinforce them so they don't unravel. If you take care with construction, they will last a long time. If you are buying your bugs, get some fly tyer's head cement and add more of this cement to the wraps of thread near the eye of the hook. This is good advice with any purchased fly.
