I catch both bass and bluegills on size 8 hooks. This eliminates some of the tiny bluegills, and keeps them from swallowing the fly, and handles the majority of bass. Maybe too small for the really big ones, but they work pretty well.

Folks: I had a fly rod as a teen, and fly fished a little with my Uncle, but the last two season have been what I call my "first and second real seasons" And, I concentrated on flies for bluegills, cause I like to catch a lot of fish... But, now I want to catch some big fish as well, so I am trying some of the bass flies..Now, the last two years, i caught an occasional largemouth on my bluegill flies... But, can you tie flies that will catch both equally (or nearly equally) as well??? Or, , for example.. i tied most of my flies on size 10-16 hooks.. And, the bass flies are tied mostly on size 6 and bigger... 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 say I want to "have my cake and eat it too" LOL..Oh, and if so, which are some good patterns??? Thanks, Chuck
