MARCH.

As fine days come out, the angler becomes 

 anxious to renew his acquaintance with his old 

 haunts ; and therefore, having his tackle all in 

 good order for the campaign, he issues from 

 his winter quarters. His sport is, however, a 

 good deal confined to bottom- fishing, princi- 

 pally with the worm, the warmth not having 

 yet sufficiently rendered the fish alert. 



Fly baits. This month the same flies and 

 tackle as in the last, but made less: also the 

 wheeling dun, or bright brown, a whitish dun, 

 the thorn-tree fly, the blue dun, the black gnat.
