370 THE ANGLER S GUIDE. 



Leger-Une is a line with or without a float, fastened to a rod, 

 sufficiently leaded, about nine inches above the hook, so that 

 the baited hook may lie at the bottom without drifting. See 

 Angling Apparatus, plate 2, fig. 3. 



Live-bait-fishiTig , angling for Jack, Pike, Trout, or Perch, &c. 

 with a small live Fish for a bait, and a float on the line. 



Live-bait, when speaking of live-bait, the Angler means a living 

 Fish used as a bait. 



Mohair, goat's hair, used in making the body of artificial flies. 



Move a fish ; in Jack fishing, when a Jack-moves from among 

 weeds or any other place without taking the bait, the Angler 

 then says he moved a Fish, but he would not feed. 



Nibble; the Fish are said to nibble when they slightly touch the 



bait, but avoid taking it into the mouth. 

 Netting, catching Fish with a net. 

 Night-lines, lines that have baited hooks fastened to them, and 



left in the water at night to take Fish. See Dead lines. 

 Not a fin , if the angler has had no success, and is asked what 



sport, his reply is, " f have not got a fin." 



0^; Jack, Pike, and other Fish are said to be of; for, after they 

 have deposited their spawn, they generally leave that place, and 

 also, when they refuse a bait, which they frequently do imme- 

 diately after their spawning, the Angler then says, they are of, 

 that is, (of the feed,) sickly, and out of season. 



Palmer or Hackle, artificial flies made with or without wings. — 

 See Hackle. 



Pater-noster-Une, is a line of gut or twisted hair, to which are tied 

 tln-ee or more hooks ; those hooks are first tied to pieces of gut 

 or fine bristle about or less than three inches lonj^ ; those short 

 pieces are fastened on the line, beginning at the bottom, about 

 eight inches apart : now fasten the line to a rod, and the pater- 

 noster-line will be found very useful for angling in tide rivers,
