I knew a guy up in Indiana that spent a week on the river once a year trout lining and jugging for catfish with a bunch of friends, and all he used was Catalpa worms. Each year he would collect hundreds and hundreds of them and bag them and put them in the freezer for the next year. They fought so many fish they would have several fish fry's throughout the year.
 
We had a catalba tree in our back yard growing up. Was always loaded with worms once the eggs hatched out.

We would freeze them in jars and use for fall catfishing.

Best bait ever. I hardly see them anymore.

There is a catalba tree right there where Birdsong Circle South comes into Birdsong road.

Never seen any worms on it.
 
We had 6-7 trees in my parents yard growing up but we rarely used the worms to fish. I haven't seen worms on them in years now but admittedly I haven't looked much either.
