Like you, on larger bodies of water, I have had decent luck catching largemouth on large nypmhs like damselflys and woolies in the past. Almost shockingly, the crawdad patterns have never really worked out for me, large or small. I would think that has to change out here because crawdads run so thick in many of these streams.
As for those little sunfish, bluegill and rock bass, woolies have been almost magic since I started fly fishing not so long ago. I even had the largest bluegill I've ever caught hit a #6 olive wooly, convincing me until it was netted that it had to be a decent-sized bass. Most of the time, though, #10 or 12 work perfectly for targeting panfish. What shocked me was that little rock bass trying to eat a Clouser nearly as long as him!
