Dale,

I have that happen also, expecially near lily pads where they hold under the cover close to the surface. My favorite small pond surface fly is a yellow foam popper,,,many times they will inhale the fly while it is still in the air.

When the bright damsel flies are arround the pads they will jump out of the water after them.

Early in the morning I occasionaly see a mouse skitter across the lily pads,,,,wow what a comotion the bass will make going after these little furry guys.

Regards,
FK
