Not all trees will keep worms, I can't remember if its a male or female. I grew a tree years ago when I catfished all the time and once worms never came, I added them thinking they would take off, and in a day they were all gone. Google it, and you'll learn a lot of thinks that wouldn't normally cross your mind.

Went to fly tying classes for a spell and catalpa worms were the hardest
fly to learn to tie. Complicated. But they work just like the real ones. Good.

Locator79, Very good to know so I will look it up and read what I find to make sure all is right or plant more trees, LOL!

RetiredRR I guess I will be looking up that pattern and tie some. I like a good challenge

Thanks,

I know were a couple trees are but i cant remember them having worms.........dont know why...

My dad had a tree that never had worms for several years....then all of a sudden it got them, and generally has them two or three times a year.

My dad and i used to use them to bait trot lines with. They are killer for catfish.

Freeze them in coffee grounds stays fresh!!! Mark them in case the wife gets the wrong can!!!!!!

Biggest bluegill I ever caught I pinched off the head and turned the catawba worm inside out. I was 8 years old fishing in a lake off the river and I thought I had an eel. Caught him on a 12 ft. cane pole and boy did he pull. I've been hooked ever since. 1-Cove
