I can't recall a dragon fly or damsel fly hit either but wouldn't be surprised. I have seen LMB beach themselves while lunging at minnows in shallow water right at the shoreline. I also watched bluegills jump out of the water to knock grasshoppers off my fish feeding ring. I was advised to make a floating ring out of PVC about the diameter of a hoola hoop and anchor it, and then throw the fish food into it....so I did. Some of the grasshoppers I throw in swim to the ring for refuge and climb up on it. Ha! The bluegills don't mind jumping through the hoop in order to knock the grasshoppers off! That trick belongs on Leno.
