Yep, and as I remember it was from a pond in Central Park.

I did a similar "match the hatch" a few years ago on a farm pond in West Virginia. The people that owned the place stocked the pond with largemouth bass, bluegills and channel catfish, and would feed them with dry dogfood, just throwing it out there. I caught some BIG channel cats by cutting the feathers off an ugly brown popper I had in my bass-fihsing flies. It was the same size and color as the pieces of dog food.
