Learn to Fish
Did you know one of Missouri’s best fishing baits grows in trees instead of coming from a tackle shop?
Join us to discover the legendary catalpa worm—a favorite bait among generations of anglers. You’ll learn how to identify catalpa trees, recognize the caterpillars, harvest them responsibly, and prepare or preserve them for future fishing trips. Then we’ll head to the water and put them to the test as we fish with one of nature’s most effective live baits.
