More likely you are referring to a caterpillar rather than a "worm".

When I was younger I used to collect worms that had fallen off of these
trees and use them for catfish bait. They were the best bait around for
these fish. I haven't seen any of these worms on these trees for many
years
and have wondered what has happened to them. Have any of you seen any of
them lately?
Thanks for your help.
