When fishing in late Summer, we stop fishing and just enjoy watching the LMB jumping to catch the dragonflies. I've actually counted 10 hits a minute when there are hundreds of dragonflies cruising the pond.

You wonder what the % of catches are when bass are chasing dragonflies... It can't be high!

Catch rates are high on dragon flies .... my favorite fly rod bug.
All this talk about feeding insects to pond fish reminds me to remind folks that you are missing the boat if you are not feeding your fish insects – the fake ones you tie on your flyline.
Get out your fly rods.
