Damm--good stuff-let us know more as I often wonder it trout hit on
dragonflies ?

Trout will certainly eat dragonflies (Anisoptera) and their close kin,
damselflies (Zygoptera).....if they can get them. And they can get
them, at least the larval forms. Fly fishers have long used many
patterns for both dragonfly and damselfy nymphs. I've never seen a
trout, or any other fish for that matter, take an adult dragon or
damsel despite many hours of watching these amazing bugs on the water
during mating and ovipositing. This surprises me.

Always enjoy your stuff--

Kind words. Thanks, Joe.

last week I enjoyed one more that usual two
manhattens and think I saw *a Polish *dragon from the Granickis family
fly by.

I'm pretty sure that family isn't native to the upper Great Lakes
region.....I'd have heard of them before now.

His armor was a little rusty--Joe the Elder

The humidity (as well as the heat) has been stupefying up here for the
last two months or so.* I suspect it hasn't been much better in your
neighborhood. Any knight, or any other critter, still in shining
armor has been neglecting his/her/its primary responsibilities while
buffing and oiling the hardware fulltime.

*who would never dream of raising the spectre of global climate change
(especially in this fractious crowd) based on anything as flimsy as a
peculiar season in a particular locale......but it sure does make a
boy ponder some about possible consequences.
