Best Season for Fish. 
SALMON.—April and May, and a little while 
after it is at its very best, and remains so till the day 
of St. James. Then it must be left until St. Andrew’s 
day, and is best between St. Michael’s Mass and St. 
Martin’s. 
PIKE—CARP.—Pike is best in July. Only the 
pike is good at all times, only except when he sees 
the rye he spawns. Item: the fore part is best, as it 
is with other fishes. 
TENCH—FLIE.—Always best in June.
