Iron Maiden star Adrian Smith has revealed he used to take a bucket of maggots and worms on tour with him, so he could go fishing at every opportunity.

The heavy rocker, who is Britain's current chub-fishing champion, tellsU.K. magazine Angler's Mail he was so obsessed by his hobby he'd look out for rivers, canals and lakes on tour stops.

I also remember a maggot scare in a very plush hotel in Amsterdam whenI was fishing in the canal there

He says, "I get to fish a lot of wild and wonderful places on tour. We used to keep worms in containers under the tour bus and in summer they would get a bit savoury. "I also remember a maggot scare in a very plush hotel in Amsterdam whenI was fishing in the canal there.

They're certainly not on the room service menu".
