Sheila, That reminds me of a friend who's hubby used to go fishing. he kept his maggots in a fridge or a cupboard in the garage .... but then he didn't go fishing for a while. Friend opened the fridge/cupboard door some weeks later and was confronted with masses of flies. She got the Fly spray and was frantically trying to kill the little so and so's for days !! Maggots and slugs ....yuck I'd stamp on a maggot just the way I do with slugs ... orrible little sh*ts ! Elaine ;-)

Dead right , I don't.....He has to have a bath after fishing, seems to like going out in the rain......

Polly, Hope you don't kiss him when he returns home !! lol ..... eeekkk ! Elaine ;-)

Fred, I hate maggotts with a vengence ... much like Slugs to me ... do they make maggot pellets like they make slug pellets do you know ??

When I was a kid, we used to go on boating holidays, mostly on the Thames. My uncle was a keen fisherman and used to come armed with rod, keep net etc., plus a container or two of maggots. On more than one occasion, the container was upset, my cousin awoke once to shoes and belongings full of the little beasties. They got EVERYWHERE, and loads fell down into the bilges. I'm sure the people who had the boat after us must have had a plague of flies!! YUKKKK!!!

Ahhh but Elaine,l the rivers were clean and pure when I was young:-) lol BC

My husband is a fly fishing freak as well and yes maggots i mouth......Yuk.... His moher used to let him keep his maggots in her fridge, drew the line there....out.. Also does sea fishing and catches fish to bait other fish %%$%??

Yuck ! BC. I remember one day, we had to have trout for dinner. It was only afterwards (and I am NOT a fish eater anyway !) that I was told it had been caught from the local river. That wouldn't be so bad ... but you should see the local 'river' .... it doesn't flow very fast .... :-(( I can still taste it now, just thinking about it ....... Yuck, yuck and yuck again :-((((

Ugh! Couldn't bear the maggots! But I used to go trout fishing with my Dad in the West of Ireland when I was young. I can still taste those trout cooked over an open fire...mmmm.... BC

Did your hubby ever put the Maggots in his mouth ??? Son hasn't tried it yet ..... but I doubt he will hold off much longer !!

How did you do that then Christine ??? just so I can start working on my son !!!!' Elaine ;-)

My son loves going to the tackle shop on a Friday evening to get the baits required... and finds it hilarious when I screw my nose up when they tell me they have got container 's FULL of MAGGOTS. I hate maggots, or anything similar, Cat food is another favourite, along with Bread crumbs etc ... anyone go fishing ... and can you please explain to me what is so fascinating about it ?? It's like watching paint dry to me !!! Elaine ;-)

My ex, and most of his children and other family members go Fishing night or day, anywhere in Britain that they hear about !
