Fire ants poison was too much for them. Just found an article from when it happened, 1998

Can Fire Ants Kill You?

Yes, fire ants can kill you, though it is highly unusual. Fire ant bites transfer a poison that humans can have severe reactions to. Recent studies suggest that the poison found in the fire ant venom affects the nervous system [2].

The Red Imported Fire Ant is one of the world’s most poisonous bugs. If you come upon a pile, and only one bit you, the others would immediately follow, owing to the alarm pheromones. This translates to a significant number of bites in a short period of time. These fire ant bites may kill you in as few as 80-100 bites.

A few years ago we leased the hunting rights on an old farmer’s land in Georgia. One afternoon after a hunt we were chatting with him and suddenly he said “ I think I’ll take my arthritis medicine “ and stuck his hand into a nearby fire ant mound. After a couple of minutes he wiped them all off and told us he accidentally discovered the venom made his arthritis hurt less. To this day I still think maybe the pain from the ant stings made the arthritis pale in comparison. Also think the old guy was a little cray-cray. But who knows

The older generations knew something that was passed down and forgotten,, 50 something years ago my Grandfather's would ask me if I could get them Marijuana leaves,,, they would stuff the leaves in bottles of Rubbing Alcohol and use them for aches and pain,,,,,a booster? I still use that to this day,,,

Has anyone had the opportunity to fish the rainbow trout in Texas waters released by the Texas Parks and Wildlife? If so, what gear was used in addition what lures actually caught trout? I’m thinking about wetting a hook. Any ideas?


Here’s the link to all of the Trout drops throughout Texas. I use a Crappie rig with floating mouse tails. The Crappie rig keeps the bait off the bottom. It was successful last year.

Hi everyone,
This topic about trout setup went a little off topic. What is the best setup to catch stocked trout? My lakes in Southern California were recently stocked.

So True. I have encountered them (burning bite) in California. I have also encountered some kind of very very small black ants in Hunter Legit California that with two or three bites makes my legs swell like balloons. I must be allergic to that sub-species.

So this string is still relevant to the TX trout thing. If 22,000 trout died there filling up on fire ants, well… I might try an ant pattern fly maybe?

If ants work/don't work, try other terrestrial-type flies like spiders, bees,
crickets and/or grasshoppers ! Seems like some of those should produce !

Haven't tried them on trout, but when we were kids fishing for bass below the dam and would run out of worms/ 'crawlers, we'd take a willow branch, bend and tie it in a loop, put a shirt/
T-shirt over it for a net and catch grasshoppers in the nearby field of
tall grass for bait ! Worked pretty
good for bass, so I would think it should also work for trout !

Problem is, they're acclimating and working their way further north as
they adapt to the colder climate !
If you look at that map, it looks like they're already in nearly half of the country as it is !
