For as much as you will ever need to know about the lives and loves of Caltapa worms, see http://www.ag.auburn.edu/enpl//bulletins/catalpasphinx/catalpasphinx.htm#infestations

BTW, If anyone has noticed that caltapa worms look like tomato horn worms, this is because they are pretty closely related, being larvae of different species of sphinx moths.

While reading up on catalpa worms, I noticed several comments to the effect that they are best fished on the bottom. This has been my experience as well. Any comments?
