Catawba worms

[bttmline]

:D I have just discovered the worms are on my stash tree. They are pretty small but I am sure they will get bigger. This is the first time I ever found them but have been watching this tree every week. How do you guys collect and save them? I believe there will be a bunch in just a week or so. Can you freeze them?

Yes you can freeze them but boil them first and then freeze them in water to keep them fresh.

The way we freeze them is put them in a brown paper grocey sack, roll the top close so they can't crawl out and put them in the freezer.
They crawl up the sides of the bag when they start to get cold and freeze, so they freeze straight and still keep there color.
After they freeze, the next day I put them in a zip lock freezer bag keeping them from getting freezer burn, and just take out what I think I might use the day I go fishing. This works great for us, give it a try.
