Re: Worms for Freshwater
Just wondering does anyone make/grow their own worms? A relative of mine, in the Riverland, use to have Tiger Worms, that he grew, in a spot near his compost heap and would poke and get some out every time he went fishing.FishHunter81 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 09, 2018 8:11 amHi guys.

And are there other worms that work for fresh water that can be grown/harvested at home as well?

Re: Worms for Freshwater
Worms, earth worms are actually rather interesting, mainly because there are many different species. The old tiger worm is reportedly not the best to go fishing with.
My favourite worm for catching trout was a scrub worm only found in the high country like Cooma, Adaminaby.

That is interesting , , , , just goes to show , , , , mainstream info which told me Tiger Worms are great, how wrong or misleading it can be. I would have it as a guess that Tiger Worms are popular only because they are an easily marketable and harvest-able worm rather than the exotic.Wolly Bugger wrote: ↑Sun May 26, 2019 9:12 pmWorms, earth worms are actually rather interesting, mainly because there are many different species.

But I agree , , , , sometimes the effort in getting the better bait is worth it in the results they bring

Re: Worms for Freshwater
Check out Gumtree, a few people are selling them on there. Some servos stock them here and there as well. I mostly use Nightcrawlers because they’ve given me the most success in the past.
