when the water is warm, try a popper. this will take bass as well as bream and is alot of fun. if the bream are starting to spawn, use a small streamer and work it through the beds slowly for some good action. for bass you can use a large streamer in pretty much any color depending on water conditions.
Wooly Buggers!
Almost any streamer, minnow, mouse, or frog immitation for bass.
Panfish are usually pretty stupid - almost any nymph as long as you move it through the water will catch them.
Hopper imitations in summer will take both as well.
poppers are fun for big gills and if you find reeds its easier than any other bait to weed out the small ones.
Reinforcing previous recommendations here: Woolly buggers for bass. You can move them to imitate bait fish, crayfish, leeches crawlers. My favorite bugger is called a Tequiley. It's got a lot of yellow and brown marabou with copper chenille and yellow rubber legs in sizes 2 to 2/0. Panfish will bite on any nymph they can suck in their mouths and they love poppers on the lakes I fish. One of my favorite bluegill nymphs looks like a bead head pheasant tail nymph with a pink collar that's called a pink squirrel.
I catch most pan fish on poppers, although woolly buggers, hornberg, and nymphs too. For bass buggers, hoppers, poppers.
