though would consider it.

Fishing is fishing, regardless of what you use. Fly-fishing however,
has long been considered by many to be a clean ( no bait required!)
and sporting method of angling.

very helpful information on fly fishing. I just wonder if a Trout
would bite a Catawba Worm.

Veer doubtful sense their natural ranges overlap very little.
Have you ever caught any kind of fish on a caltapa worm? Do you
really know anything about them?
A lot of serious fishermen that fish Caltapa worms have little screen
cages they keep them in. I use to help my first shirt gather worms. It
took a ladder and some serious tree climbing to get the dam things. We
were picking worm off of one tree when the post Sargent Major told us
those trees were the property of the Post CG. It didn't matter we got
plenty of them elsewhere.
After they were picked we kept them in a refridgerator to slow down
their developement into moth. I got to go out every day and pick
fresh leaves for them as that was the only thing they would eat. The
whole season lasted a month at best.
I use to go fishing with him and he showed me the whole technique to
Cataba worms (In Alabama they had at least a half dozen name for the
slimy *******s ). The worms are turned inside out and put on a hook
the slimy inside is outside- they kind of looked like a used rubber.
Theya re very tough and the Brim and Shellcracker really went for
them Catching 3 or 4 fish on one worm was the par.
He also taught me to find Brim-bed by smell. You drive around the
lake and he could smell them. The smell was a mix of fish and water
weeds. I think I could still recognize it after 40 years.
I don't think you could domesticat those worms. It's one of the things
you gotta take when it comes.

Trout will take virtually anything at times. The Tebo grubs I
mentioned before, which are also moth caterpillars, are used
extensively as trout bait. I have never seen a Catalpa worm "in the
flesh". Their use, as described by Mr.Conner, which sounds authentic,
would more or less preclude my using them. I don´t want to have to
eviscerate something before I can use it as bait.

One can learn to cast fairly quickly, but it is better if there is
someone who already can shows you how. It is easy to learn a lot of
mistakes on your own. Although it is basically simple, it needs to be
done properly for optimum results.
