at the head, of the bait, which will pre- 

 vent it being drawn out of form by the 

 refinance of the water. The triangle will 

 then hang loofe a little below the tail. 



Another method of fnap fifhing, is, 

 \vith four hooks (fee figure IV.) The . 

 points of the two extreme hooks, fhould 

 not be more than three inches from each 

 other. The upper hook fhould be thruft 

 acrofs the bait's mouth, including both 

 lips, and the lowefl pafled through the 

 narrow part near the tail, fo that it is 

 a little bent, or it will not fpin, then 

 \vith a piece of thread, whip the middle 

 pair to the bait's fide. 



In the above methods the pike requires 

 to be flruck as foon as he takes the 

 bait, but be careful not to ftrike him 

 with a flack line, for if you do you are 

 almoft fure to lofe him. He fhould be 

 fifhed for about midwater, and you need 

 not throw your bait twice in the fame 

 place, t
