Unwary Roach the fandy Bottom chufe. 

 And Carp the Weeds ^ and Eels the muddy 

 Ooze, 



When any Fiih have taken the Hook from 

 you, if it be not fwallowed into their Gorge, 

 they will live : Either the Water will caufe it 

 to ruft, and in Time wear away ; or the Fifli 

 will go to the Bottom, and there root like a 

 Hog on the Gravel, till they either rub it out, 

 or break the Hook in the Middle. 



Cafl into fuch Places where you ufe to an- 

 gle, once a Week at leafl, all Sorts of Corn 

 boiled foft, A'e-grains^ or tVheat-hran fleeped 

 in Blood, Blood dricdi and cut to Pieces, Snails^ 

 Worms chvOpt into Pieces, Pieces of Fowl or 

 Beafi^s Giits^ Guts di Fowl^ Beaft^s Livers cut 

 into Pieces, Oat-cake or Cheefe chewed, ground 

 Malt^ Sec. When you angle for Carp, Tench, 

 Chuh, Rochy Dace, Barbel and Bream^ you 

 cannot feed too often or too much. This 

 Couf-fe draws the Fiih to the Place you defire, 

 and there keeps them together. Caft alio in a 

 few Grains of ground Malt or Beans, now and 

 then, as you angle, or chewed Oat- cake or 

 Cheefe. 



Your Feed for Fifli mull always reft in that 

 very Place, where you mean to angle, and 

 that your Bait may come to : Therefore, by 

 no means, when you angle in a Stream, call 

 them in at your Hook, but fomething above 

 where you angle, left the Stream carry them 

 beyond the Hook , and fo inftead of inviting 



them
