Do NOT be caught Short of Bait

The two most sought after bait for Trout Season are Wax Worms and Butterworms.  And each year orders out strip supply.  Please help us not get caught short on bait supply.  We try to guesstimate, but it doesn't usually work. Last season, we lost our supplier of Butterworms in Jan.  When we went to order...no reply from the supplier. With Butterworms, they are Import from Chile, and you need a USDA Import Permit to get the worms. The supplier has to have USDA Labels to put on the shipment to get them into our country.  And it takes 6 - 12 weeks to get the Labels from USDA and then send them to Chile. Without a supplier to send the labels to...no Butterworms. When we did find a new supplier and get the Permits and Labels to him....it was late in the season. He hurried to get worms to us...and there were problems.  We had to refund a lot of money on the orders. That left fishermen without bait, when they wanted to be fishing.

The supplier we found has been doing a good job since last June....and is ready to ship worms.  Same with our Wax Worm supplier.  Both need to know how many worms are needed.  Butterworms keep really well, so orders can go out before the season is on top of the fishermen....not so with Wax Worms. They have a rather short shelf life. And they take 6 weeks to grow. So you, the fishermen, can not order and take delivery to far ahead of the start of fishing.  But we would like as much warning as possible of the needs of you fishermen. This also holds true for Wholesalers and Bait Dealers.

On the ordering form is an area for comments below the form....USE IT.  Order you bait early and tell us when you want it delivered.  Paid Orders are ALWAYS FILLED first, when things are tight.
