Are midges effective for warm water fly fishing?

By necessity, most of my fishing is in warm water rivers and lakes.
Do panfish and bass take midge patterns?
As far as panfish go, they can do a great job. I frequently tie a
zebra-midge or such as a dropper and they have saved the day countless times
and I'll go straight to them on small streams in winter when the water
temperature is on the cold side and the fish are a bit sluggish.
Largemouth.... well up to a certain size they are just like any other
panfish, but I have to say that the closest I've come to catching a LM of
any size on a midge was when Mr. Bass swallowed the sunfish that swallowed
the midge.
