Do panfish and bass take midge patterns?

Small panfish will but the size you would want to take home prefer
something more substantial like a popping bug or a foam bug. There's
some info here on tying a foam bugs;

Thank you very much for the feedback. I have had great success with
foam flies for panfish and bass. At times they are particularly
deadly around here. I was just curious if midges were also worth
trying in warm water situations. I also wondered about ice fishing
with midges. I'm one of those crazy guys who is always curious about
everything. This week it's the "midge thing" :-)
