So, could I tie a bass bug, or clouser minnow , etc ect, in a size that is in between the 6 and the 10 and catch both???? I guess you could Hey Chuck, Alot of bass and panfish flies are trout flies just tied on a larger hook. Even on saltwater I've caught stripers, blues and weakfish on wooley buggers tied on a 3/0, 2/0. and brown trout on clouser minnows tied down to a # 10. My colors I use on clousers that small are combinations of white and chartruse, brown and white, olive and white, and some of them with a splash of pearl krystal flash in the middle. I did tie a fire tiger small clouser then put stripes on it with a marker for a small perch look but haven't gotten it wet yet.
