Thread: Worms from Northwestern

Hmmmm, can't wait to cook up a mess of these. Shoe, any recipies in mind.

Some Crappie we caught at Northwestern last Saturday contained
Philometra Nematodes.
Hope you didn't have fish for dinner last night.

I've caught a few around here with those in them.. but it was the exception not the norm...

I just use them to floss with after I eat the fish.

i have seen almost the same worms in smallmouth last year in the upper james river around bunea vista but they were more white in color.

Man I bet you could catch trout with that! Put it on a hook and see what it does.

Great idea Keith.

Me too. More of the whites worms than the red usually.
Where do you fish up there. I fish from just above Westveco down to Winginia, but mostly between Allen's Creek and Bent Creek.

Great. those are from Northwest?

I have seen a few here and there lately.
I found a couple in the bottom of the bowl after soaking the fillets overnight.

I think I'll just stick to catching my crappie from Norfolk's water supple lakes and stay away from those tidal bodies of water.

Yes they are!
