CC,

I fished with catalpa worms a lot as a kid. They are awesome bait but I think you need catalpa trees.

I have a few trees and currently am growing some more in my window sill in the 4 season room to plant in June.

If you(or anybody else) want some northern Catalpa seeds, send me a PM. I would be happy to send you some.
