the best time to use them is when ever you've got them.
I have to go out and scoop up my mousies, mine are the size of rats!!! mine are from yellow faced hornets.
mousies are be larve, you buy them at the bait shop. the larve have not yet turned in to the pupae stage yet. you cant buy them in the summer. no one will carry them cause they can turn and hatch before you know it.
wax worms are good and you can usualy find them year round from a bait shop or pet shop. a wax worm is a corn boar, if you have a corn farmer near by you can go to his place and get them from his vegie stand or he may even let you go out in to his feild now the season is over, look for the corn with worms.
to hook theim I stick about half the worm over the barb of the hook and do not cover the back side of the hook. the fish will grab the worm part with the barb and you have hooked them. again with these worms I use a number #8 or #6 arberdeen wire hook. or them little jigs as I mantioned earlier.
