I was fishing once in a mountain stream in the Cape, allowing my fly to dance on some rapids, when a dragon fly landed on my finger. I remained still and watched him. He flew off and I cast again. Half a minute later the fly landed on the same finger with a moth in it's jaws. I watched it eat for a minute for a minute or so. When the moth was completely gone it sat for at least another minute before flying away. I caught nothing although I had some spectacular rises.
