becomino; entancrled with those on the other, 

 when in use. That they will sometimes entangle 

 appears to me unavoidable. But this chiefly 

 happens when the gut has become worn, and 

 oug;ht no lono;er to be used. 



Remember, it is most essential that the hooks 

 be kept away from the body of the bait. When 

 therefore, the gut is so far worn as to make 

 them hang close to the Minnow, change it 

 instantly, if you would continue your sport: 

 for which purpose be always prepared with 

 several sets of hooks in your case. They scarcely 

 require more time to affix, at the water's side, 

 than to change a fly. The most expeditious 

 method for performing this operation has been 

 already explained. 



If you omit to observe this proceeding, 

 blame not me for want of diversion. But if 

 you abide strictly by the above injunctions, I 

 can fearlessly affirm, that you will not only have 

 as many runs as at the real Minnow, if not 

 more — for it spins most attractively, — but you 

 will kill, at the very least, double the number 

 of fish.
