Not to be a smartass but bass do actually eat dragonflies. I watched them doing it at Lake Powell one morning in this little cove. This 12 inch bass that I had caught the day before was jumping 2 and 3 feet out of the water trying to catch them. I think he was really hungry :-) I read a long time ago too that Murray won some tournament on Havasu pitching a tiny senko or some small lure at fish that he said were eating dragonflies. But how on earth you use a lure that is shaped exactly like a dragonfly is beyond me. Those wings would snag on every piece of moss in sight. It's a classic case of trying to make a lure that is very realistic but winds up completely unfishable. Definite barni zone material. We'll have to recruit Jamon to write up a new page.
