Yes it is.
Big dragon flies, the bass were about a foot out of the water and maybe 1.5 - 3ft. of distance.
Maybe i will film it Sunday when i return.

Would love to see some film of it. Better yet, of you hooking up with one on a dragon dry!!

On my local puddle, dragons are very abundant and definitely seem to be the main forage. Seeing bass of all sizes take dragons off the reeds and even mid-air is quite the sight. Big blue dragon popper has been killer for a couple of years now. The bonus aspect is mosquitos have been non-existent.
On a side note, I have only been out for bass a couple of times this summer. Other fisheries drag me out to "greener" pastures. But my last two outings the average size has been about half of that in June.
Please PM GPS coordinates of your local puddle so I can verify.

Oh I like this game.
I'll see you there
Update:
A wee bit windy.
Overcast.
I eyed 1 dragonfly the entire session.
I still landed fish on top water frog. 2 smashed it on the take. The other 1 was a wait and see. The others rolled on it and missed.
I love this game.
I think that's a fine post to follow up with my monster bass from this morning. I already posted it in that "view from my office" thread, but I figure it can live here as well.
I didn't actually think there were bass in this lake and the few I've caught have been this size. But still fun on a 3wt.

You know that bass has a general territory on the lake, and those houses out back will probably see more anglers in that area.

Just one more cast...
I've always struggled consistently getting fall bass with flies. However, one nice part about chasing them around is there is less folks than in the summer (or in many cases). A few of our local lakes switched over to being open year round a few years ago.
Found a few today. Nothing to write home about. I was, however, using gear (spinnerbait). Although given that they were reaction strikes pretty shallow made me wonder how I would have done with poppers.
Ah well, I'll never know. WDFW closes that lake for Duck season tomorrow. Even though duck season doesn't start for 2 weeks.
