In cold, frofty, or fnowy Weather, it is to

 eth in the Spring any fmall hoary Froft, all 

 that Day after the Filh will not rife kindly, 

 except in the Evening, and that too mull prove

After any Sort of Fifh have fpawned, they 

 never bite to any Purpofe, until they 

 have recovered their Strength and former 

 Appetite. 



When any Clouds arife, that portend a 

 Shower or Storm, though in the midft of 

 Summer, they will not bite •, and even if they 

 bite well before, yet at the Approach of it, 

 they will ceafe. 



When the Nights prove dark, cloudy, or 

 windy, and the Moon fhines little, or not at

 the Mills (land and keep up the Water, you 

 will neither catch Fifh at Ground or Fly : For 

 Fifli, efpecially Trouts, dare not then come 

 out of their Hold, by reafon of the Shallow-
