I am sure someone else will throw in some expert advice but here's my 2 cents..
I have been working on the bass/panfish thing myself. You can get really complicated with your flies if you want but wooly buggers work just fine. Try tying them in natural colors. Brown/black/olive.. I have had good success with black body and tail with olive hackle over the black body. no matter where your fishing the bass are most likely in deeper water this time of year so sinking line will help. I basically use the same thing for bass,perch and bluegill. just go smaller if your after bluegill. Id say #2 hook for bass and I tie smaller buggers with a size #10 hook for gills. Also a popper with a nymph about 18" below works wonders for bluegill.
Hope this helps.
