Woolly buggers are always a good producer for me. Just about any color in sizes 8-12 will work.
Generic nymphs produce well at times also. Pheasant tails, copper johns, hares ears, prince nymphs, and stonefly patterns all work well. I have had plenty of days where a PT or CJ outfished a suckerspawn by quite a bit.
If there aren't so many fish that I will be snagging them like crazy I like to fish 2 flies. I usually put a nymph above an egg patern in that situation.
