S26 THE ANGLER S GUIDE. 



house, or other parts of the river Lea, fish during the 

 day, and return, in the evening, to their respective inns. 

 If the Angler should meet with loss by breaking of 

 lines, hooks, &c. w^hile fishing in the waters near 

 Hoddesdon, he may get assistance from an ingenious 

 tradesman and good Angler in the town, named Sher- 

 rall, who is ever ready to relieve a brother of the rod 

 and line, when in distress. 



The Eel and Pike, Pages Water. 

 This water joins Shepherd's. Page's, though a pub- 

 lic-house, is lonely, and not much suited for the lodg- 

 ing and accommodation of the Angler j yet there is good 

 fishinghere, at some seasons of the year, for Pike, Chub, 

 Roach, &c. and also in the stream called the Mill- 

 river, running across the meads to the westward of the 

 Lea, particularly at a place called Calais-point, or 

 Breeches-maker's hole. This stream supplies Hoddes- 

 don and Broxbourn-mills, and empties itself into the 

 Lea, near Broxbourn-bridge. Between Page's Water 

 and Scorer's, at Broxbourn, part of the river belongs 

 to Nazing parish, in which is good trolling and Perch- 

 fishing, particularly in that part called the Gull. The 

 Eel and Pike, I am told, was much frequented by 

 Anglers, fifty or sixty years since, then kept by the 

 parents of the present occupier.
