What pattern should I use?
Every once in a while, the water gives you a moment you couldn’t script if you tried. In this clip, Average Angler Life watches a bass come up and absolutely crush a dragonfly right off the surface — and the camera catches the whole thing. No setup, no staging, just pure topwater instinct.
Seeing that strike in real time sparked a question: if bass are willing to eat dragonflies like that, why not try matching the hatch with a simple dragonfly fly pattern? So in this video, I break down the moment, react to the strike, and tie a clean, straightforward dragonfly imitation designed to sit right in that danger zone where bass love to ambush.
Whether you’re a fly angler, a pond hopper, or someone who just loves watching nature do its thing, this clip is a reminder of how wild and unpredictable the water can be. Moments like this are why we keep casting — and why I keep a camera rolling.
Have you ever seen bass key in on dragonflies where you fish? Would you throw a dragonfly pattern, or stick to frogs and poppers? I’d love to hear your take.
