Black leeches on size 10 2x hooks for bream and size 2 hooks for LM bass These are my absolute go-to flies for late winter early spring. In fact, they work pretty much all year round. Also, plenty of Carter's Sculpins in Grizzly and black for bream when they're a bit deeper and in bright colors of white with purple, red or chartruese tails for crappie. Once the water warms up a bit I switch to polar fiber minnow patterns for bass, usually olive over chartruese over white and cap spiders for the bream along weed lines or overhanging brush.
