Thread: Wax Worms/Meal Worms?

AC, Cricket George is the source for those kinds of baits, he should chime in shortly.

Hmm, never fished with them before

Try any pet store. They usually keep mealworms, waxworms and crickets for reptile food. Don't pass up Catalpa worms if you can get your hands on some

AC - Ok I am back from cool Colorado where mornings were 46 - 53 degs:D and the trout were hitting dry flies.

Let me get to the office and I can tell you where to order them. They are pretty cheap. I am going to say $10.00 for 500 maybe. I will repost tonight if possible.

I hate you. LOL. Not really, think I'm just very jealous, because I missed out on the opportunity to fish in Canada this summer for Walleye and Northern Pike. What dry fly patterns were working best for the Trout?

I was using a #14 Elk hair caddis with a chartruese tuft on top. I also used another #14 ehc with an orange tuft. It did not seem to matter since the brookies hit whatever floated by. We were fishing Rocky Mnt Natl Park on a small brushy creek that with 4 steps we could cross. We caught around 30 apiece in 4 hours which were released. We were fishing a little headwaters creek called The Colorado River. Ever heard of it???????????:D We were rained out 3 days out of 4
One night my daughter came in from walking the dogs and told me that there were hundreds of nightcrawlers on the road. It had been raining for some time. GEEZE LOUISE, She was not kidding. They were mature nightcrawlers and looked almost like baby copperheads. I could have picked up a couple hundred in a short time but my daughter informed me that I could not put them in the fridge until i returned home. I could have worked over the walleyes at Hefner for quite some time with them.(

AC- I forgot to check my source of wax/meal worms. I raise red wigglers in an old freezer and use them for bluegills and redears. They are easy to raise. If you want info search the main forum where I posted a thread on how to do it. I will try to remember to check the office and post the company that I have ordered from.

AC , I always bought my wax worms from a place in wisconsin called , JA-DA bait co.
they are online jadabait.net. jumbo waxies are some of the best crappie bait you can buy, good luck.
